I spend a weird amount of my day writing prompts. Not code, not copy, not design specs. Prompts. Instructions for AI tools that generate the first draft of whatever I need. And I've realized that writing a good prompt is basically the same skill as writing a good creative brief.
A vague brief gets you vague work. Same with prompts. "Make me a landing page" gets you something generic. But "I need a landing page for a solo design practice. Minimal, monospace headings, no gradients, dark mode. The tone should feel confident but not corporate." That gets you somewhere useful.
The designers who are going to thrive with AI aren't the ones who learn the most tools. They're the ones who can clearly articulate what they want and why. That's always been the core skill of design leadership. The medium just changed.
