Okay.

Show me the evidence that AI has an impact on productivity when doing design work. Or reducing meeting load.

My own experience is that AI doesn't tighten the design cycle, and in fact might extend it by encouraging gold plating.

Well, I expect when you've vibed too much and lost track of the code, and can't answer questions in meetings anymore, you'll stop getting invited to them.

From the patterns I have seen people would tend to use the time to build demo's using AI instead of design and then have a back and forth on the demo itself. One has to consider the fact that demo's look more convincing/complete and give an impression that the design decision has been made. In some ways, how agile got rid of the need for explicit & detailed documentation, the AI created demo's will cut the requirements of high level designs too.

It certainly helps as a research assistant for design work. But it can’t do it for you.

What kind of shape of evidence would you find convincing?

It does because you can now just steamroll features out the door and make everyone look bad that’s sitting around in meetings all day
