Dylan Field's framing identifies a real split in design tooling: AI will commodify execution, but can taste—the judgment about what to build—stay human. Figma's bet is that AI-assisted interfaces democratize design skill and expand the market for design thinking rather than eliminate designers. This hinges on whether non-designers can develop the aesthetic and strategic judgment that separates effective design from technically competent output. If taste is learnable through better tooling, design becomes accessible. If not, AI-powered tools produce technically capable but creatively hollow work.
