Figma has decided to temporarily disable its "Make Design" AI feature due to concerns about plagiarism. Users raised alarms over the tool generating designs that closely resembled existing popular apps, particularly Apple's Weather app. Figma CEO Dylan Field responded to the accusations, denying that the feature was trained on Figma content or existing app designs. Field acknowledged the issue and attributed it to the underlying design systems used for the AI models. He took personal responsibility for the oversight and mentioned insufficient quality assurance processes. As a result, Figma will disable the Make Design feature until they can ensure the quality and originality of its output. Field assured users that the feature would be re-enabled once a full quality assurance pass on the design system is completed. This move aims to address concerns about potential legal implications for designers using the AI-powered tool in their work.
