Figma’s new tool that lets designers mock up apps with generative AI is getting delayed after the tool made designs that looked similar to Apple’s iOS weather app.

Figma’s new tool Make Designs lets users quickly mock up apps using generative AI. Now, it’s getting delayed after the tool drafted designs that looked strikingly similar to Apple’s iOS weather app. Figma CEO Dylan Field posted a thread on X early Tuesday morning detailing the delay, putting the blame on himself for pushing the team to meet a deadline, and defending the company’s approach to developing its AI tools.

If it’s true that Figma didn’t train its AI tools but they’re spitting out Apple app lookalikes anyway, that could suggest that OpenAI or Amazon’s models were trained on Apple’s designs. OpenAI and Amazon didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment. Rasmussen argued that Figma didn’t want to do any training to improve its features until it was open with its users about its AI training policies, which it also introduced last week.
