Figma explains how its AI tool ripped off Apple’s design


The “Make Designs” tool had some problems.

“But in the week leading up to Config, new components and example screens were added that we simply didn’t vet carefully enough,” writes Noah Levin, Figma VP of product design. In our interview, Rasmussen said that Figma didn’t train the AI models powering the tool — which include OpenAI’s GPT-4o and Amazon’s Titan Image Generator G1 — at all. It’s more or less as simple as AI helping you identify, arrange, fill out, and theme small composable templates from a design system to give you a jumping off point.
