> But in the week leading up to Config, new components and example screens were added that we simply didn’t vet carefully enough. A few of those assets were similar to aspects of real world applications, and appeared in the output of the feature with certain prompts.

I assumed the AI was mimicking designs that it had been trained on, but this is saying they gave the AI a design system to work with. Their designers created a design system that was presumably templates for the AI to use. The design system they gave it was the source of the copycat components.

So they put Apple’s weather app components into the design system. Then when you prompt it for a weather app, it picked those back out of the design system.

This makes the problem even worse in some ways. This outcome was not only predictable, it was intentional (by at least some portion of the team).




I'm curious what number of design systems were included, if they were all first party generated, and to your point, let's see the offending template.

Seems this is less of an "AI" issue, more like if Squarespace offered a template that was identical to Apple.com.
