Complex design as a response to AI-generated content

Author Álvaro Samagaio Date 20 Aug 2026 Reading 1 minute

Is the return of beautiful, complex design a human response to AI-generated content?

The reasoning goes:

  • Humans simplified things because it was cheaper, easier to make and more efficient
  • AI learned this very well
  • AI is amazing at generating huge amounts of streamlined content
  • The efficiency part is solved, so humans can now focus on more complex work OR
  • Most content is AI-generated now, so we as humans feel the need to create something original that doesn’t need to follow rules or economic drivers
