Claude Design, other AI

Hey guys

Anthropic just launched Claude Design – AI that generates polished designs from prompts, already shaking up Adobe/Figma. Obviously this hits graphic designers hardest, but it got me thinking about banking and consulting since so much junior work is building and formatting decks.

A few questions:

If AI can handle the grunt work of slides (base layouts, formatting, consistency), what happens to the 100+ hr/week analyst grind? Does the "rite of passage" shrink?

AI can already enforce style conventions in code – how long before it reliably nails firm-specific deck templates? What skills do juniors actually need then?

As people who grew up with AI move into senior roles, how does the whole profession shift?

Are your teams actually experimenting with AI for this stuff yet, or is it still not there?

Don't work in finance myself so genuinely curious to hear from people who do. Where does AI help and where does it completely fall short?

Thanks 🙏
