Even the basics of UI/UX are complex enough that AI is ages behind of doing it. **@symphonyguest** · 3 upvotes > I'm struggling to get anything that isn't just... painfully generic? Maybe I'm missing something. Probably design experience. 😂 **@dustysheldon** · 3 upvotes > Such a tired topic.

The output is mostly crap — but I use it with that in mind, for some rapid brainstorming exercises. It's just a tool. --- Tags: [#ui-design](https://daily.dev/tags/ui-design), [#tailwind-css](https://daily.dev/tags/tailwind-css), [#figma](https://daily.dev/tags/figma), [#ai-coding](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-coding) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/did-ui-designers-just-get-replaced-by-vibes--cvg2danpm) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Did UI designers just get replaced by vibes?","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/did-ui-designers-just-get-replaced-by-vibes--cvg2danpm","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/did-ui-designers-just-get-replaced-by-vibes--cvg2danpm"},"datePublished":"2026-03-19T19:35:35.197Z","dateModified":"2026-03-20T17:22:09.019Z","description":"Google Stitch, an AI-powered vibe design tool, has received a major update that lets developers and designers generate UI/UX designs, interactive prototypes,...","image":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qaB5HF4ax9M/sddefault.jpg","thumbnailUrl":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qaB5HF4ax9M/sddefault.jpg","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Fireship","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Fireship","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--75ndqrkr--/f_auto,t_logo/v1702882094/logos/fireship.jpg","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/fireship"},"commentCount":32,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/did-ui-designers-just-get-replaced-by-vibes--cvg2danpm","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":196},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":32}],"keywords":"ui-design,tailwind-css,figma,ai-coding","timeRequired":"PT4M","video":{"@type":"VideoObject","name":"Did UI designers just get replaced by vibes?","description":"Google Stitch, an AI-powered vibe design tool, has received a major update that lets developers and designers generate UI/UX designs, interactive prototypes,...","thumbnailUrl":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qaB5HF4ax9M/sddefault.jpg","uploadDate":"2026-03-19T19:35:35.197Z","duration":"PT4M","url":"https://api.daily.dev/r/cvG2DaNPM","embedUrl":"https://www.youtube.com/embed/qaB5HF4ax9M"}} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Fireship","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/fireship"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Did UI designers just get replaced by vibes?"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/did-ui-designers-just-get-replaced-by-vibes--cvg2danpm","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","text":"I’m tired of this =/\ncan AI replace my managers already? it’s easier","datePublished":"2026-03-20T12:16:01.754Z","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/cvG2DaNPM#c-SmUumEpeC","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Devar","url":"https://daily.dev/devar","image":"https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocL140fNwrlzd26jHzHv_pHQeLFxiDtcN0dlWRgZXBa-MeDu848=s96-c"},"interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":10}},{"@type":"Comment","text":"And Clerk will sooon be eaten by Google too.
