The integration of generative AI in design processes is leading to a significant homogenization in the appearance of digital interfaces. As AI tools are trained on existing designs, particularly prominent ones like Apple's, they tend to replicate these aesthetics, reinforcing a cycle of sameness. This phenomenon raises concerns about originality in design, highlighting how standardized design systems and frameworks contribute to a uniform visual language across platforms. The prevalence of similar designs suggests that creativity may be stifled as designers increasingly rely on AI-generated outputs that mirror established styles.
