I think calling design deliverables 'artifacts' is a misnomer. A 10 page document that nobody will ever read is not some artifact. The only reason it would be called that is because in 200 years someone will put it in a museum to ask why the previous generations were wasting so much time.

Especially because I see so many folks talking about using AI to generate 10x more 'artifacts', and arguing that therefore they are 10x more productive. 10x of documents nobody reads it's 10 x 0 = 0

When folks say they have 10x'd their productivity with AI, most of the time this is what is actually happening:

To think big documents means lots of work has happened, or to think many new features or many lines of code means lots of work has happened, is a problem of management.
