Especially now since the rising trend seems to be enthusiastically getting rid of people from the equation entirely. Shoving AI in everywhere as much as possible.
I think the fact that "flat/corporate" design took over seemingly everywhere at once, in interfaces, designs, logos, etc is what really gets people. It all did "shift" as a culture because it really was a unified effort.
