I have a sincere question as a new product designer. Does using AI to generate designs make you a weak designer? I used AI to generate a wireframe for an app and felt like a fraud. Just curious to hear what a senior PD thinks about using AI
I think it all depends on how you use it and your intention behind it. Using it doesn’t make you a fraud, but if you are incapable of creating good wireframes on your own and haven’t truly developed your skills, then you are only hurting yourself in the long run. AI can be a great assistant to designers and when you know what you’re doing it can be helpful in making us more efficient. But it’s a tool, like any other, if you don’t know whether the output is good or what needs to be tweaked or improved then it’s not really worth much. I use AI all the time, using it won’t make a strong designer weak but it may hinder a weak designer from becoming strong if they fully rely on it without developing their skills, taste and experience. I talk about this a lot in my newsletter, if you haven’t already joined, I think you’ll enjoy it designerup.co/newsletter
👉🏽Check out @Uizardio and @Adobe Firefly and let me know what you think! (Links in the description!)
It's is really awesome ❤
Just discovered ui add thanks to you . Going to make my designer freelance life easier 🎉
AI is getting really wild. Thanks for this the run-down! I think this could be pretty useful as a developer getting some concepts out there.
i hope figma makes something like this that actually works. uizard needs some tuning
Totally agree! Would be really useful to have some native AI design features integrated into Figma

People who are just starting out in UI design aren't going to learn anything by depending on these AI tools.
Is it possible to export it to figma so i can revised it
