Test – AI Project Design

1. I used Gemini to create a budgeting app. It’s an AI-driven personal finance assistant designed to make budgeting easy and enjoyable through automated tracking, personalized dashboards, and clear data visualizations.

2. I think AI works well as an assistant because the content it generated was organized, useful, and seemed to follow basic UX/UI principles. However, I don’t see it as a good designer. Nothing it produced felt new or original; it was basically simple UI templates with the requested features plugged in.

3. AI definitely sped up my brainstorming process. If I did it myself, I would’ve needed much more time to sort through and structure all my ideas. Instead, the AI quickly organized everything I mentioned and presented it in a way that was easy to work with.

4. Stitch slowed me down a lot, it sometimes generated strange results. I also feel like its features aren’t fully developed yet, because it basically can’t understand what I’m saying most of the time.

5. For now, I think AI is most helpful in the brainstorming stage. I can use it to shorten the time I spend on exploring ideas and move more quickly into the actual design process. I could also use Stitch to generate different color schemes or layout templates, which would help me narrow down the version I truly want to create.

6. In my opinion, AI-generated work lacks originality. Most of what it creates looks more or less the same, with no real “design” or “art” behind it, just repetitive templates. There’s also an ethical concern too: if AI produces flawed designs or misleading information that negatively affects users, it’s unclear who should be held responsible.
