Are designers losing their creativities?

In my view, this has always been the case. Everything is a remix of something else.
Some remixes are more creative, innovative, and get more attention—often from surprising combinations of elements coming together.
There are still places on the internet, and among designers and product creators, where unique ideas and fresh perspectives shine through in distinct ways.
However, on the flip side, design and software are more accessible than ever, which means anyone and their aunties can launch a website with Apple's latest bento and Linear's dark mode.
