Anyone can prompt a fitness app or a 3D website, but there\u2019s a catch: because everyone is using the same AI models and similar prompts, everything is starting to look the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AI is essentially creating an infinite number of &#8220;award-winning&#8221; but bland templates. When a specific look becomes easy to generate, its market value drops instantly. What used to be a high-end effect (like a complex 3D render) becomes the new &#8220;drop shadow&#8221;\u2014a cheap, lazy effect that people eventually get sick of seeing [<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nW0R-Ekt4Bw&amp;t=98\">01:38<\/a>, <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nW0R-Ekt4Bw&amp;t=271\">04:31<\/a>].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Core of Design: Differentiation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At its heart, design isn&#8217;t about following a process; it&#8217;s about <strong>differentiation<\/strong>.
