Recently, artificial intelligence has played a major role in text and image production. So, is the integration of this technology into creative processes truly beneficial, or does it pose a threat by erasing the human touch? In your experiences, have you seen AI assist you in areas like writing, design, or music? Or, on the flip side, have you ever felt a loss of originality? I’d love to hear different perspectives on this. Where do you think the boundaries should be drawn, and what responsibilities do we have in this field?

In our latest project, we needed quick marketing content to promote the new app before its launch. We tried using an AI-based writing tool to generate texts for the homepage and email campaigns. The result was surprising: we got attractive drafts filled with the right keywords, and we were able to tweak them in minutes to match our brand identity. This saved us valuable time that would have otherwise taken days of research and manual writing.
However, when we decided to rely on the same tool to generate weekly blog content, we noticed that the texts started repeating ideas and losing the personal tone we wanted to show our readers. At that point, we realized that AI remains a helpful tool, not a substitute for human creativity; final editing and adding a personal touch are still tasks that require our own touch.
A while back, when I was working on an internal dashboard project for a company, I incorporated interactive copy and color schemes generated by GPT-4. At first, I only asked the model to provide a few headlines and button texts, and the results were concise and perfectly aligned with the brand tone—saving me a ton of time on revisions. Then, I enabled the AI color extraction feature in a Figma plugin, which automatically generated several color schemes based on the uploaded brand logo. While I still ended up selecting and fine-tuning the colors myself, the entire process from concept to the first draft was about 40% faster. The only thing that gave me pause was the concern that relying too heavily on these generated outputs might dilute the page’s attention to detail and unique micro-interactions, making everything feel like a "one-size-fits-all" template. So, I decided to treat AI as a source of inspiration rather than the sole solution for the final delivery. This way, I could preserve room for innovation while leveraging AI’s efficiency to fill in the gaps.
