Generative UI Design: Einstein, Galileo, and the AI Design Process

Open AI, Stable Diffusion and the likes have enabled a range of products to bring AI-assisted copywriting, image creation, and even coding to our fingertips. It was just a matter of time until generative AI made its way over to User Interface design. What if we could generate User Interfaces automatically? To take it even a step further, what if we could predict UIs? It's only recently that these AI-driven interface design tools are becoming commercially available. There's Galileo, Genius, Magician, and probably many more to come. This current wave of'generative AI' might seem pretty new for UI design, but work in this area has been ongoing for years, with notable progress back in 2020.
