Figma disables AI design feature after it copied Apple’s Weather UI multiple times
Last week, Figma launched new AI-powered tools which the company said would help users “push past creative blocks” and help them work more efficiently. These tools included a ‘Make Design’ feature that enabled users to generate mock-up apps using generative AI.
However, the feature has been now temporarily disabled after it was found out that it was ripping off the Apple Weather app interface. The problem surfaced when Andy Allen, the creator of the popular Paper app for iPad asked Figma AI to help him design a weather app. In a post on X, Allen said that he prompted the tool to make a mock-up design for a weather app, but every time, it closely resembled Apple’s Weather app.
