But I'm sure that, since those designs were found "on the open web", then this is okay, right?

Figma "AI" is also plagiarism: https://daringfireball.net/linked/2024/07/01/figma-ai-ripoff-engine

@viticci that’s how misinformation spreads, you have only second hand experience to comment on. There’s no evidence anywhere that Figma’s tools were trained on any public data.
@viticci the whole “story” feels fabricated and the question I’d ask before amplifying it — who benefits from this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Useful_idiot

@driy So you absolutely do NOT see that's it's ripping off Apple's Weather app? Like, you don't see it at all?

Also, totally unrelated: https://techcrunch.com/2024/07/02/figma-disables-its-ai-design-feature-that-appeared-to-be-ripping-off-apples-weather-app/

Figma disables its AI design feature that appeared to be ripping off Apple's Weather app | TechCrunch

The Make Design feature is available within Figma's software and will generate UI (user interface) layouts and components from text prompts.

@viticci I do see in that article adjective like “to appear to be..”. Yet again recycling that one tweet. Have you spent like 5 mins trying to use the tool yourself?

@viticci also, you have probably didn’t even read the link you’ve shared as it completely discards your original sensational post as unsubstantiated circumstance.

“Field responded by clarifying that Make Design uses off-the-shelf large language models, combined with “[design]systems we commissioned to be used by these models.” He said the problem with this approach is that the variability is too low.”

@driy Yep, it seems like the issue was humans copying the design as part of their component library, rather than automated scraping. Next question: Does that make it better? +@viticci
