Artificial intelligence-based software, such as ChatGPT has become an everyday part of designers' workflows, across disciplines and cultures. Using ChatGPT can help generate ideas and develop design concepts and make the ideation process faster and more efficient*. Moreover, AI image generators can save significant amounts of time and money on rendering. Indeed, as the underlying AI technology is getting more powerful exponentially, so are the tools based on the technology. However, ChatGPT responses and outcomes, and the quality of advice and solutions, depend on prompts, custom instructions and context, and while it gets a lot right, it doesn't get everything right. And so, powerful AI tools in the hands of beginners who don't understand what AI is doing are at risk of doing mistakes, and in haste. Therefore, it is good practice to verify anything important before acting on it, especially when it comes to high-stakes decisions. In short, to harness, and fully benefit from the power of AI across design fields require challenging experience and discernment. *Caveat: While complex ideas travel slowly, simple ideas actually travel very fast. However, there's a high amount of variables wrapped up in even the simplest of ideas, if and when we let an idea rest or “sleep on it.”
