Relying on AI tools for design can lead to generic solutions that often miss the mark on user needs, as they make assumptions without thorough understanding. The iterative process of refining AI-generated designs can become tedious, highlighting the importance of human insight in design. While AI can assist in the design process, it should not replace the critical thinking and problem-solving skills of human designers.
UX designers can leverage vibe coding, a new approach utilizing AI app builders, to quickly generate working prototypes and validate their ideas without heavy reliance on developers. By using natural language prompts, designers can create interactive demos, enhancing their workflow and allowing for rapid iteration and exploration of concepts. However, vibe coding has limitations, such as code quality and complexity, which designers must navigate.
