AI product design needs taste.
AI product design needs taste.
AI made design accessible to everyone, and now a lot of products look the same, down to the gradients.
Users notice within seconds, the same way you can spot an AI-generated image.
In the video, I show what the iPhone might look like if AI had designed it. Apple got there by removing and simplifying, which is why people still can't put it down.
When anyone can generate a product in 30 minutes, users look for signs that serious people put real work into it.

- Somebody has to say this.
- If you're using AI to build your product, it's gonna look AI-generated, and users can see it and feel it instantly, just like you can see AI designs.
- AI made product design accessible, which is amazing, but there's also a weird side effect happening right now in the space.
- Everything is starting to look the same.
- Same gradients, same onboarding, same modern AI startup aesthetics.
- But products people love to use, products people stay with are the products that have great taste.
- This is how an iPhone would look if AI designed it originally.
- I think we all can agree that it is quite far from what an actual iPhone looks like, from a product that people obsess with, that generates billions of dollars.
- Apple removed things, simplified things, added taste to their product.
- That's why it's so addictive.
- That's why people keep using it.
- And now that everybody can generate products, the real question becomes: What can people trust?
- What will make people subconsciously think serious people put hard work into it, not 30 minutes?

A product built with AI looks AI-generated, and users see it instantly. The products people stay with are the ones with great taste.
Key points:
AI made product design accessible, and the side effect is sameness: the same gradients, onboarding and AI startup aesthetics.
The real iPhone is quite far from what AI would have designed. People keep using it because Apple removed and simplified things.
Everybody can generate a product now, so the question becomes: "What can people trust?"
Users judge subconsciously whether serious people put hard work into a product, or 30 minutes.
Most useful for teams building their product with AI.
