OpenAI Codex promises to revolutionize coding, but don’t be fooled—this shiny new AI tool has some serious flaws. While it’s great for basic tasks, it’s far from ready to replace skilled developers, and it comes with major risks like outdated code, security vulnerabilities, and legal nightmares. https://webdesignernews.com/openai-codex-revolutionizing-code-or-ripping-off-developers/

If you’ve worked in digital design over the last few years, you’ve likely spent considerable time researching or/and designing cookie consent banners.

AI-generated imagery has become an essential part of the modern product designer’s toolkit — powering everything from early-stage ideation to polished design assets. Stable Diffusion is one of the most popular and flexible platforms for creatives that enables designers to generate a wide range of imagery with ease.

The article explores the fundamental shift in UX as AI-first systems minimize the role of UI, rendering traditional design tools like Figma increasingly obsolete. https://webdesignernews.com/ai-is-flipping-ux-upside-down/

In my experience, most UX teams find themselves primarily implementing other people’s ideas rather than leading the conversation about user experience.

Without a clear UX strategy framework, professionals get relegated to a purely tactical role — wireframing and testing solutions conceived by others. https://webdesignernews.com/building-a-practical-ux-strategy-framework/

If you’re a UI designer, you know that generating fresh, innovative ideas is crucial, but sometimes the creative well runs dry.
