AI art tools have revolutionized various design fields, especially UI and visual design. They have fundamentally changed design processes and methods, providing designers with an endless source of creative inspiration. However, it's important to note that AI-generated images often have limitations, such as text errors and detailed image bugs. Even after multiple attempts, Midjourney's results cannot be used directly without designer improvements. Nevertheless, these raw outputs are very useful in the early stages of the design process, providing visual inspiration. For example, creating mood boards with AI-generated images can serve as a reference for designers to create visual languages. As AI tools continue to advance, they will become increasingly powerful. Designers who can effectively leverage these tools will have a significant advantage in the rapidly evolving design landscape.
