I like the idea but I think it's going to be hard to put this particular genie back in the bottle. As an engineering leader, I prefer low fidelity designs early on, but practically no one else in my company wants that.
Designers have learned figma and it's the de facto tool for them; doing something else is risky for them.
Product leaders want high fidelity. They love the AI tools that let them produce high fidelity prototypes.
Some (but not all) engineers prefer it because it means less decision making for them.

I'm about to deliver a proposal to a prospect with ascii mocks, we'll see how it goes. I am the product leader.
and tbf I've used low fidelity to engage stakeholders imagination long before ai was making ascii for me.
