UX professionals who are good at all steps of the UX lifecycle, including both research and design, are called “UX unicorns” because they are rare. But AI narrows skill gaps and may create many more UX unicorns.
I never thought I'd be saying this, for example, but I will:
a unicorn exists in real life because of the drawings, legens, stories and everything. It stands for some values that we can not put onto any other object. Or that object would be different. But a unicorn as a subject, that does not exist. Right.
I have been saying before that AI is a forklift for the mind, and one big reason is exactly what you're saying, Rich, that is allows us better access to knowledge in the world, augmenting knowledge in the head. The two have always co-existed, but knowledge in the world becomes more actionable when transformed by AI into specific advice for your current situation. This is a big reason AI-driven answers are superior to search engines, see https://jakobnielsenphd.substack.com/p/seo-is-dead
Well roared, tiger pack lead
Also helpful to rethink ones position, sometimes.

Deep comment Simon. I'll have to think more about what it means that unicorns simultaneously exist (in our mind) and don't exist (in nature).
