The characteristics of late-stage UX:
- Automation: AI automates an increasing part of our jobs and reduces demand for designers in certain markets.
- Saturation: Supply of designers outstrips demand. Market is still uncertain.
- Commoditization: Focus on scalability and standardization over differentiation and delight.
- Financialization: Greater influence of financial health, shareholders interests, and business metrics in design decisions.
- Disintegration: Lack of trust in digital products makes users either skeptical, complacent, or susceptible to exploitation.
