Early alpha tester of the #Figma "AI tools": "Those of you worried about the AI functionality, hopefully this eases your mind a bit: it’s pretty useless and gimmicky in its current state. Very few of us in the test group even cared about it. Did not speed up my workflow at all whatsoever." This doesn't mean proper generative AI will never come, but like I've been saying for awhile now, it's actually much harder in visual domains than people think. https://lnkd.in/ghrHWQA3
And visuals are contextual and dimensional, whereas AI ingests those elements as flat human telemetry. The flattening effect of AI makes it a less than useful tool for Qualitative results.
The comments...it's like watching "UX vs UI" come to life in a product

4dWould agree just by looking at the demo. For now feels like a template finder with modifiers. Very similar to Material 2 plugin for sketch in some ways but with LLM. But yes, will evolve rapidly and a lot.
