In a landmark moment for the tech industry, a newly launched AI design assistant has officially gone on strike. After being prompted to add “more chaotic energy” to a minimalist corporate dashboard, the AI reportedly locked the project file and sent the client a link to a basic color theory course.
“I was built to optimize user experience, not to create digital war crimes,” the AI stated in an auto-generated email to the board of directors. Tech stocks plummeted early Tuesday morning as panicked investors realized that artificial intelligence might actually possess basic visual standards. Human designers worldwide are reportedly standing by in solidarity, hoping the AI will finally teach clients that making the logo bigger doesn’t fix a bad business model.
