I am really trying to be open minded about AI prototyping

But trying it leads to a lot of output with very little attention to detail or quality.

And that’s what I’m really good at, nuance, quality, detail.

I can’t help but wonder if my way of working is incompatible with design as it is done now

You might be thinking “wtf Anna why would try AI prototyping?”

I am a systems / platform designer

it’s my job to pay attention to how designers work and the tools they use.

To figure out where the gaps are, for better and worse.

And yeah…there’s a lot of issues with this imo.

At every single step with AI I’ve actually tried to go about it hoping I’m wrong.

And I feel so confused when I don’t get what everyone is excited about.

Yes we can make a prompt into an interactive prototype but a lot of the exact details I need in there take longer to fix with AI than manually

@annaecook I appreciate your patience and persistence. I am the type to not want to touch any of it with a ten-foot pole based on the ethical and environmental factors alone. Experts who are willing to test from a position grounded in reality and healthy skepticism are super valuable, as they (you) yield documented cases that can be referenced when pushing back on others who ignorantly believe all of the unfulfillable promises spouted by grifters. (Though trying to make the hype-believers acknowledge reality is a steep uphill battle...)

And I'm certainly noticing a common trend across several disciplines, where experts conclude that it takes longer (and is often far more draining) to fix genAI output than to re-do the task from scratch manually.
