Is it still worth learning UI/UX as a Beginner?

So, just how good are the latest frontier models in terms of UI UX and code? So, I gave this a thought as somebody who's really dived completely in in the last year and a half or two into AI coding and some design as well. And this is what I've come up with. I think right now with the latest frontier models, what we're talking about, you know, Gemini, Codex, Opus, etc. When it comes to UI UX, it's probably around a six out of 10. Zero being the biggest noob ever and then [music] 10 being the absolute best UI UX designer. Now, of course, when it comes to code, I personally think it's stronger in the code domain, so I put its price somewhere between seven and eight out of 10. But since I'm a designer of multiple decades and first and foremost my skill, my best skill is UI UX, I think I have a really good read on this. So, take a look at some of these projects for instance. I went on Reddit and I went on Facebook and these vibe coding groups and people are sharing their projects openly. And I just kind of wanted to show, I you know, what these vibe designed looking projects look like. So, here's one right here. Okay. Um as a UI UX designer, I would take a look at this immediately and say, "Okay, there's an issue right here." Like this this this V, this symbolism, first from a UX perspective, it's unnecessary just to have this huge logo. From a UI perspective, it's way too close to this stuff right here. And there's also some spatial issues as well and alignment issues. And this is something, you know, somebody who's very trained will be able to spot. Now, you ask the AI to produce something like this, it will certainly produce it and you can tell it to be the best UI UX designer ever and it will still produce things that are inadequate. Uh how about this one? Okay. Again, you know, we're on you know, desktop, why not utilize more of the desktop? Okay, maybe it's a mobile only approach. Okay, well, let's dig in there. Well, look at the colors, you know, we have three different uh color schemes occurring here. The stroke on them doesn't even match with this green or this blue next to like this this burnt orange color. There's a lot of things like this I in type typography as well that I can just sit here and spot out. I used to do these reviews where I would just refactor people's designs and you know, like somebody, you know, who's been doing it for decades can really spot the issues like crazy. Like here's another one. I Again, you know, this type of thing I I I'll I'll rate this like a four out of 10, five out of 10. Um how about this one? Yeah, not a fan of the colors here. Gem Hunter, I it's it's not really telling me exactly what's happening here. This is kind of like a poor hero section. Uh the cards definitely need work with the typography in here. Um War Room Academy, again, like like we can do way way better than this. Like a really skilled UI/UX designer. Here's another one. I this one screams of, you know, typical vibe coded design. I nothing special happening here. So, my point is is well, there's multiple points really. Um if you're somebody who's starting out in UI/UX design, I obviously you're probably not going to be as good as what the current LLMs can produce. So, in that case, you use it as a tool to help you build instead of you just trying to raw dog it yourself. But at the same time, simultaneously, you still need to try to develop the eye so that you can spot this stuff and eventually get better than the AI itself. So, when people ask the question, are you know, is are designers cooked or whatever, at at the current time, no. If you're entry-level and you're a beginner, well, you're still not necessarily cooked. It all depends if you're you're willing to do the old school approach, which is learn stuff, you know, like apply yourself, try to get better. I mean, you can still be somebody who's brand new and enter this industry as long as you're willing to work hard, you can get better than this six out of 10. Of course, you can. Now, one last point I'm going to make in this quick video is yeah, I consider myself way better than AI in terms of UI UX design, but does that mean I don't use it? No, I use it. I I use it almost maximally as possible, but I'm also refining it. But I'm using it kind of like a entry-level designer that can knock out a lot and flush out things really quickly from like a macro perspective, a high-level perspective, and then at the end of a project when I have all the functionality and stuff working, then that's when I go in and I really start making fine-tune adjustments to the UI. So, that's the sort of thing that, you know, I'm focused on this channel is just showing that there's still a great amount of skill involved in using AI for both design and code, and I would say more so with design. So, make sure to subscribe up here, check out my courses at designcourse.com. That's the core focus of what this channel's about is really trying to maximize the use of AI, but also our specific skill sets because trust me, we're we're not going to get to a point in time where AI is just better than everybody, no matter what. That's years in the distance. So, go ahead, take that for what you will. Let me know what you think in the comments. Do you think I'm being too generous with how good AI is or is it even better than what I'm saying? I'll see you all soon, and goodbye.
