Tech & AI | July 2, 2024, 10:13 a.m.
Figma AI, a new tool for designers, was intended to help streamline the creative process by generating UI layouts and component options based on user input. However, a developer discovered that when he asked Figma AI to design a weather app, the results were strikingly similar to Apple's Weather app, leading to concerns about potential legal repercussions. The developer warned others to be cautious when using the Make Designs feature to avoid unintentional infringement on existing apps. It seems that Figma AI may have been heavily trained on existing apps, particularly Apple's, raising questions about the source of its design inspiration. This incident serves as a reminder for designers to thoroughly review and modify results generated by AI tools to avoid legal troubles.
