The death of Figma and UI according to LinkedIn

If you look around the web (especially LinkedIn) you’ll see an endless stream of posts claiming the death of Figma (post 1, post 2). The arguments are nuanced and go from “almost dead” to “absolutely dead”.

Even more, there’s an equal amount of posts proclaiming the death of UX / UI as we know it - due to AI. A recent post - which I came across by accident - is titled AI Is Flipping UX Upside Down: How to Keep Your UX Job, and Why Figma is a Titanic (It’s not for the Reasons You Think). Although I think that the author did a poor job defining UI / UX, the post is representaive for the overall sentimnt: UI / UX is dead, and Figma being the UI tool, is dead as a consequence.
