Heck, the damn AI couldn\u2019t even conquer hands, leave alone actual gadgets. Things have changed now \u2013 ChatGPT\u2019s image generation is surprisingly incredible, and Claude can actually write code to be used in Blender, turning images into workable 3D files. When you need materials, simply tell GPT to make seamless texture maps for you, and you\u2019ve got everything you need to render products.<\/p>\n<p>Want to skip the render entirely? Just tell ChatGPT or Gemini Flash 2.0 to make the renders for you. AI is allowing designers to move MUCH faster than they would with sketchbooks and copic markers. And sure, if you DO want to resort to the classical techniques, AI like Vizcom is serving as a fairly powerful tool to help turn your sketches into renders. AI is here to shake the design industry and if you\u2019re not using it already, you might as well look at an early retirement.<\/p>\n<p>Designer: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.com\/@aureliengmz\/post\/DJCbpWHM70J?xmt=AQGzmJNCbpugd_Dt3znTsUnoyv91wyUe4m-g69Paa9BlYw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Aurelien<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-549416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/ai-cant-replace-designers-but-it-can-be-a-powerful-ideation-tool\/aurelien_ai_products_2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/05\/01\/ai-cant-replace-designers-but-it-can-be-a-powerful-ideation-tool\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"AI Can\u2019t Replace Designers.
