I think if you're a designer and you notice that, you might get scared because you know you can just now generate UIs and things like that. I think it's way more important to be in tune with what you find beautiful about day-to-day things. You know, and actually start honing that art direction of things because then you'll see the entire thing as a breathing living thing that can sort of change and adapt depending on the vibe you're feeling to represent with your design. So I do think there is something really special about putting more attention into the art direction of something, which is normally more reserved for advertising purposes.
