Figma's Zoink: AI Won't Generate Rule-Breaking Designs Like Brat's Cover
Kyrannio · x · 2026-08-07
Figma's @zoink uses the viral Brat album cover to illustrate AI's limitations in the design domain. He points out that this "intentionally bad" visual style is highly effective precisely because it breaks the rules, backed by a high level of intentionality and hard work.
He argues that even with a perfect aesthetic model, AI cannot generate rule-breaking art like the Brat cover. This highlights the irreplaceable value of human designers when it comes to conveying counter-intuitive and unconventional concepts.
