Reflecting on fidelity when sharing nascent ideas. https://asbj01rn.work/works/2026/using-ai-to-democratize-scripts/ https://asbj01rn.work/works/2026/using-ai-to-democratize-scripts/ Mon, 20 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000 AI can do a lot—but not always the same thing twice. That's where it starts to break down for design systems, where consistency matters. In this post, I explore how combining AI with simple scripts can give designers the best of both worlds. Scripts handle the predictable, repeatable work, while AI lowers the barrier to actually using them. Using an SVGO setup as an example, I show how installation, configuration, and usage become much more approachable. The result? Less manual work, fewer inconsistencies, and more people able to contribute—without needing to become developers.
