Hey everyone, I’m struggling with Figma’s AI feature. Every time I try to use it, it seems to spit out designs that look exactly like Apple’s Weather app. It’s really frustrating! I’ve tried different prompts and settings, but no matter what I do, the results always have that distinctive Apple Weather look. The color scheme, icons, and layout are practically identical. Has anyone else run into this issue? Is there a way to make Figma’s AI generate more diverse designs? I’m worried about accidentally copying Apple’s design in my projects. Any tips or workarounds would be super helpful. Thanks!
I’ve encountered similar issues with Figma’s AI, and it’s definitely a challenge. From my experience, the key is to be incredibly specific in your prompts. Instead of general requests, try describing exact layouts, color schemes, and icon styles you want. For example, ‘Create a weather app with a dark purple background, neon green accents, and minimalist line icons.’
Another trick I’ve found useful is to provide reference images that are drastically different from Apple’s design. Upload a few examples of unique weather app interfaces you like, and ask the AI to use those as inspiration.
Lastly, don’t be afraid to iterate. Sometimes I’ll generate a design, then use specific elements from that as a starting point for the next prompt. It takes more time, but it helps break away from the Apple Weather look. Hope this helps!
I’ve been working with Figma’s AI for a while now, and I’ve noticed this tendency too. It’s likely due to the AI being trained on popular designs, with Apple’s Weather app being a prime example. To break away from this, I’ve found success in using very specific cultural or thematic references in my prompts. For instance, try something like ‘Design a weather app inspired by Van Gogh’s Starry Night’ or ‘Create a weather interface that looks like it belongs in a cyberpunk movie’.
Another approach that’s worked for me is to focus on unconventional data visualization. Ask for a weather app that uses abstract shapes or patterns to represent weather conditions, rather than traditional icons. This forces the AI to think outside the box.
Remember, the AI is a tool, not a replacement for your creativity. Use its output as a starting point, then modify and iterate on the design yourself. This way, you’ll end up with something unique that still benefits from the AI’s capabilities.
yeh, i’ve noticed that too. it’s like figma’s AI is obsessed with apple’s weather app lol. have u tried using super specific prompts? like, ‘make a weather app that looks like it’s from the 80s with neon colors and retro fonts’. that might help break the apple mold. good luck!
I’ve been grappling with this issue too. It seems Figma’s AI has a strong bias towards Apple’s design language, likely due to its training data. To combat this, I’ve found success in explicitly stating what I don’t want in my prompts. For instance, ‘Create a weather app design that doesn’t resemble Apple’s interface in any way.’ Additionally, specifying unconventional elements can help, like ‘Use a vertical layout with weather information stacked in cards.’
Another approach is to focus on a single, unique feature in your initial prompt, then build upon it. Start with something like ‘Design a weather app centered around a 3D globe showing global temperatures.’ This gives the AI a distinct direction from the outset.
Ultimately, it may take some trial and error, but persistence in steering the AI away from Apple’s aesthetic can yield more diverse results.
