Cursor’s New AI Lets Designers Cook — No Experience, Just Vibes

12/13/2025, 8:02:10 AM

YO. So Cursor just dropped something even more deranged than my 49-tab Chrome situation. They built an AI DESIGNER TOOL and honestly at this point, designers are about to be replaced by ✧vibes✧ and, idk, caffeine-infused electrons? 👾 Cursor used to just be for sweaty code warriors who haven’t seen sunlight since Minecraft beta, but now ALL OF A SUDDEN designers are invited to the party. (Next: cats. After: grandmas.*skull face) The new thing is called Visual Editor, which. okay. Is that just a knockoff Instagram filter? NO. It’s like if Photoshop and ChatGPT had a crypto baby and raised it on Soylent, except this baby wants to know, "hey, how COMFY do you want your website to feel today, chief?" *side eye You don’t even have to click dropdowns and squint at hex codes. Just YELL AT THE SCREEN: "Make this button redder than my bank account after NFT season!" — and it’ll vibe-check the pixels in real time. (Soon you’ll just have to think about a color and the whole app will change itself, followed by your self-esteem *flushed) And Cursor’s revenue? Bro, did you see those numbers? They’re out here posting bigger gains than a gym rat on bulk. $1 billion ARR. That’s not even real. My brain can barely comprehend a Chipotle bowl at this point, much less a billion bowls. Companies like Nvidia, Salesforce, and, like, probably the U.S. Mint are hitting them up like "pls can your robot code a tax haven?" BUT IDK. Competition out here is giving JoJo face. OpenAI, Anthropic, Google—like, everyone’s playing squid games with AI dev tools. Cursor flexed by building their own models though. That’s like beating your dad at Mario Kart then building a BRAND-NEW TRACK OUT OF SPAGHETTI. Absolute menace energy. No cap, a couple years ago, if you wanted designers and developers to cooperate it required three translators, two incense sticks, and a family therapy session. Designs would launch into code and instantly lose 80% of the sauce, like dropping a Five Guys burger in a puddle. Now? Cursor is smashing the avocado of design straight into the toast of code, all with one UI and some AI that probably has a TikTok addiction. *goofy eyes Let’s talk demo. They brought this to WIRED HQ (which is basically the final boss level of nerd lairs). Picture this: you open their thing, on the right you got classic font and button sliders, on the left, a chat box where you can just type “pls, can you make these text boxes legally thicc?” and seconds later, BOOM. Your page got more curves than my browser history. Cursor even dropped their own web browser? Sorry, Chrome, pack it up. You can do dev stuff, browse, AND complain to the AI about your code not working all in the same window. Three tabs, zero will to shower. Final verdict: Cursor is basically building a platform so sick it might actually unionize the devs and designers. In the war on productivity, AI is now the boss battle. Next time you see a designer and a dev talking, they’re probably just gossiping about how Cursor did their last three projects without breaking a sweat. If you read this far, touch grass. Or just ask Cursor to do it for you.
