Figma Halts AI Tool Over Apple Weather App Copying Claims

The design platform's Make Design feature is under scrutiny for generating near-identical replicas of Apple's weather app.

Figma's Make Design AI tool has been temporarily disabled after it was found to produce designs closely resembling Apple's weather app.
The issue was highlighted by Not Boring Software's founder, Andy Allen, who shared the results on social media.
Figma CEO Dylan Field acknowledged the problem and attributed it to the underlying design systems, not data training on existing apps.
The company aims to re-enable the feature after conducting a thorough quality assurance review.
This incident raises broader questions about the potential for AI-generated designs to infringe on existing intellectual property.
