We examine how the UX pipeline is breaking as AI absorbs the entry-level work that used to train our judgment, a shift Patrick Neeman argues threatens the profession’s long-term viability. This tension is mirrored in community discussions where juniors are penalized for using AI tools, forcing a dangerous gap between efficiency and the perceived authenticity of manual labor. We explore whether we can maintain rigorous human insight and ethical transparency while relying on tools that increasingly
