Chief Executive Officer Figma Dylan Field responded quickly, acknowledging that the company was in a hurry to introduce the function. He stressed that Make Designs did not train for Figma content or application design, and that the problem was that it was too low。
Figma Chief Technology Officer Kris Rasmussen revealed that the feature mainly relies on OpenAI's GPT-4 and Amazon's Titan Image Generator G1 models, which raises questions about whether these third-party models were trained using Apple designs.
The company has temporarily removed the Make Designs feature and promised to take additional precautions before re-enabling it. Rasmussen said Figma is reviewing its custom design system to ensure adequate variability and quality standards.
This incident highlights the complexity of applying AI in creative fields. Figma plans to train its own models in the future, but has promised to take measures to ensure that only common design patterns and Figma-specific concepts are learned.
