I’m really interested in this emerging idea that the future of web design is **Generative UI Design**. We see hints of this already in products, like Figma Sites, that tout being able to create websites on the fly with prompts. Putting aside the clear downsides of shipping half-baked technology as a production-ready product (which is hard to do), the angle I’m particularly looking at is research aimed at using Generative AI (or GenAI) to output personalized interfaces. It’s wild because it completely flips the way we think about UI design on its head. Rather than anticipating user needs and designing around them, GenAI sees the user needs and produces an interface custom-tailored to them. In a sense, a website becomes a snowflake where no two experiences with it are the same. Again, it’s wild. I’m not here to speculate, opine, or preach on Generative UI Design (let’s call it GenUI for now). Just loose notes that I’ll update as I continue learning about it.…
