If you're a designer interested in prototyping using AI, but are unsure how to get started, Adobe Design Prototyping manager CJ Gammon just released a new article on adobe.design that might just help you out. In it, he shares a few excellent tips and tricks on how to successfully prototype using AI tools, based on real experience in how designers at Adobe are using AI-based prototyping today. https://lnkd.in/guytfQwv

As a former industrial designer, I see something familiar happening with AI tools. Hear me out. We're entering the age of accelerated mass production and commoditization of software by AI. Mass production is now driven by a few major "manufacturers": V0, Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT. These tools produce large quantities of standardized products using the web as a resource, assembling outputs like an assembly line of highly efficient (but sometimes confused) coders. We've seen for awhile now that even before AI, product experiences were already feeling increasingly similar. As all products continue using these vendors repeatedly, what they produce becomes commoditized. Bespoke and highly-crafted experiences could become even more of a rarity. 💻 The Democratization of Design AI tools are lowering barriers to entry, allowing non-designers to participate in creation - similar to how mass production made manufactured goods accessible to broader markets and producers. We're already seeing PMs participate. 🏭 Standardization vs. Creativity Tension Like mass production, AI tools tend toward standardized outputs and templates. The efficiency gain comes at the cost of unique creative expression. Mass production raised the floor of product quality while potentially lowering the ceiling - are AI tools doing the same for design work? 🎓 Professional Displacement Commoditization historically affected craftspeople and artisans. There are clear parallels to current concerns among designers, writers, and developers about AI tools potentially devaluing specialized skills. 📈 Market Expectations Shift Tech's expectations are changing - demanding faster turnaround and lower costs now that AI tools exist, similar to how mass production changed consumer expectations (fast fashion). Lenny's Newsletter noting 84% of tech workers feel burned out may be a sign of this pressure. 🧭 Strategic Implications Some software companies caught in this cycle will try to escape through innovation, branding, or finding ways to de-commoditize their products - differentiating beyond what 99% of companies optimize for through pure manufacturing efficiency. It's not all dire though. In a world full of Samsungs and Motorolas, an iPhone still stands out as a premium product differentiated through innovation. Others gain popularity through crafting unique experiences and marketing (Nothing, Teenage Engineering). So the question for now might be: Are you designing for differentiation or settling for good enough? #AI #design #productdesign

Luma AI just dropped Ray3 with an impressive demo promising 4K HDR video. I decided to put it to the test. No cherry-picking, just raw results from 2 hours of use. Site: https://lumalabs.ai/ray 4k download link to watch without compression: https://lnkd.in/eBfte2gX ✨ What stood out: -Interface is smooth you can queue shots and run multiple variants at once. -Cheap to run half of my $30 credit gave me ~100–150 generations, draft mode is a great feature! -Camera motion looks strong. -Fast turnaround. ⚠️ Where it struggles: -720p looks solid, HD is fine but 4K falls apart. The upscale looks more like low-poly CGI than real 4K. -Prompts aren’t followed well. Even simple prompts like “static camera” took multiple retries. -Every usable shot took 6-10 variants. -Close-ups look good, but medium/wide shots suffer from the usual AI quirks. 🔥 What really annoyed me The tech demo on their website looks like absolute fire. Trying to recreate those shots was a bit of a failure. Sure, I managed to get the camera motion and scene in there but only after a shotgun approach of endless iterations. And even then, the image quality never came close to their demo material. It suffers from the same issue as Veo3: amazing marketing, but the actual results require endless “slot machining.” 💡 Takeaway Ray3 has potential the speed and pricing are great but right now, Seedream still delivers stronger results overall for a cheaper price. Curious if anyone else here has tried Ray3 yet. What’s your take? 4k link: https://lnkd.in/eBfte2gX https://lumalabs.ai/ray https://x.com/lumalabsai
