We're time traveling back to 1997 today, when WYSIWYG editors were all the rage. In the decades since, web technology has clawed its way from that primitive state with semantic HTML that made accessibility possible and let content drive appearance rather than vice-versa.

Figma Sites turned its back on nearly 30 years of progress, with a product that is only good for generating website-like demos for stakeholders that won't use them.

The dream of being able to generate working websites will remain out of reach until UX redefines its practice around semantic structure rather than layouts.

"#AI will take your job" is not destiny. It is a deliberate choice by decision-makers - but the motivating factors are not productivity or profit (AI has only lost companies money while harming productivity and trust).

Just like RTO and layoffs, AI-in-everything is a *performance* by CEOs of being an decisive and innovative leader, staged for the benefit of other CEOs.

It is impossible to do #UXDesign in these circumstances. We must recenter our work on real value.
