I think as far as AI is concerned, we should leave as many small/trivial things as possible.. Like "make me a grid with 3 columns and 100px margins on all sides" type of stuff.

Shouldn't the "Make Design" feature be "Make Wireframe" to reconcile Figma with the design community? 🤷♂️
Even if someone wanted wireframes based on an existing design system, that would seem kinda.. backwards to me? Might as well go straight to mock-ups at that point
Don’t you think that UI design is related to personality and art VS UX Design is related to knowledge and theory of design. A lot of design systems are inspired by another design systems if we are all honest 🤔. This Figma AI feature it’s maybe just a shortcut to not lose time
AI doesn't help solve the "everything looks and feels the same" problem, it will only make that worse.. It also makes it so the internet is so bloated with crap (nonsense articles, videos, images - basically every media) that best practices are a thing of the past
We're getting ahead of ourselves if we think AI is going to move design forward when the average digital experience is riddled with dark patterns, ads, and other ickiness. There's systematic issues that keep true creativity from happening that have nothing to do with our tools
If it truly is meant to be a starting point and solution to the blank page problem it would make sense to generate and shuffle around lo-fi layouts just to quickly explore various approaches.
Problem is not AI or machine learning. The problem is GenAI and the way how companies approach creators (and the web) as 'the' source for free-training data as if they were some kind of university research lab.
