A new study explores how generative AI tools influence the formation of design intent among experienced UI/UX designers. Researchers observed five expert designers creating landing pages with an AI tool, noting that designers didn't just move from a general 'vibe' to specific code. Instead, they exhibited 'lexical oscillation,' returning from operational details to ambiguity and using mismatches with AI outputs to refine their own understanding. The study positions AI as an active participant in the design process, where ambiguity can be a valuable resource for design judgment. AI
IMPACT Suggests AI tools can actively shape user intent, rather than just executing commands, impacting how design workflows evolve.
