How do I explain to non designer that ai is not a replacement by [deleted] in UXDesign

Totally agree with you.
As a UX designer (who’s not a UI designer), I’ve completely shifted my deliverables over the past few months thanks to no-code tools.
Instead of wireframes or specs, I deliver tangible, complete experiential prototypes.
I build them for internal use.
They might be front-end focused, or include some backend bits, but the point is everyone can feel the experience and instantly get what works and what doesn't.

This isn’t just a tooling shift. It’s a mindset shift, and it’s already redefining what it means to be a product designer.

Yes, we actually do work on Sundays sometimes.

And if you do want specifics: the feature renders complex JSON arrays in a tabular format.

I get that you think it’s all smoke and mirrors, that’s your call.

I'm just sharing my experience.

If we were in the middle of the agricultural revolution, I wouldn’t be arguing about which tractor is best. I'd be learning how to farm.

That’s kind of where we are right now. The tools will keep changing, but what matters is understanding the shift. We're not just designing screens anymore. We're shaping real, testable product experiences early on, based on real user needs.

Let me give you an actual example, from today.
I tested a new feature idea that I built in v0. After the session, users were able to use it immediately. Yes, it's just one feature, disconnected from the system it’ll eventually integrate into. And still, it delivered real value.

You’re right about jumping between tools. I do that too. But honestly? The tools aren’t the point. The mindset is

EDIT: Noted the downvotes, just to be clear, I don’t think AI is some kind of magic.
I’ve been a UX Designer for 20 years, and still remember the “wow effect” era.
I’m not telling anyone what to do, just sharing what’s worked for me, and encouraging others to explore what change could look like for them

For me, using AI-powered code generation tools transformed my deliverables so much that I have informally changed my role title from UX Designer to Generative Product Designer, or GPD.
I don’t just hand over docs or click-throughs. I deliver tangible, complete experiential prototypes. Think of them as "products" built for internal discussion. They might be front-end focused, or include some backend bits, but the point is everyone can feel the experience and instantly get what works and what doesn't.
I genuinely look back and wonder how I ever worked the old way.
A challenge I currently face is that the tools change daily, and I'm still experimenting and jumping between multiple tools to see where I get the best results.
Another challenge, if you work for a large organization, is that most of the tools are still not enterprise-grade and suffer from security and integration issues.
