The Myth of The Self-Made Designer
  • In the article, the author dispels a common myth about a self-made or self-taught designer providing arguments based on his own experience.
  • According to the author, there are five key aspects to becoming a designer, all of them come from sources outside of self:
    1. Education
    2. Experiences
    3. Opportunities
    4. People
    5. Time
  • The pursuit of being “self-made” can be dangerous for designers as it can involve ignorance, arrogance, and isolation.
  • Designers need each other as they learn from each other. External help, advice, expertise, and feedback from fellow colleagues can be a determinant of professional success.

    • GPT has been exposed to some of the same biases that the film skewers. It will require a lot of dedicated effort by designers and users to strip the bias out of LLMs.
    • In the film, aliens need humans’ help. Despite their expertise in creating technical marvels, they lack the creative abilities needed to use them. The same holds true for AI: it needs humans to guide it and tell it what to do.
