Final remarks
Tools like this are evolving at breakneck speed, offering designers an ever-expanding toolbox of possibilities. Imagine sketching an idea on a napkin, feeding it into an AI, and receiving a fully functional prototype minutes later!
However, it’s important to remember that the journey is far from over. While AI can generate impressive visuals, it still lacks the nuance and human touch that truly elevate a design. The ability to understand user psychology, tell a compelling story, and infuse a design with personality remains firmly in the domain of human creativity.
