Summary
Since the dawn of the web, designers have drawn pictures of things and handed them to engineers who built fifty percent of the vision. Every tool revolution, from Photoshop to Figma to design systems, promised to fix the handoff. None of them did. AI agents finally break the cycle, but not the way you think. The answer isn't AI replacing designers, it's designers building directly in the medium, with AI as their new toolset.
