Stories of AI "accelerating" work describe problems as though they were solutions. "This PM had an LLM generate their product strategy." "This designer shipped a prototype with a backend running in Google Sheets." "This engineer no longer reads the code they release."

Releasing things is not an unalloyed good. "Build to learn" only works if you can learn something - and overwhelming your org's ability to absorb information is NOT the way to learn!

Designers will never have influence without understanding how organizations learn

We confuse prototypes with demos, and validation with confirmation bias. As a result, we cannot lead — instead, we are led.
