AI slop or not?
This is one of the most realistic AI visuals I’ve achieved for a barre class brand —
not because the model is “perfect”, but because the art direction does the heavy lifting.
Just like in real photography, I deliberately:
– chose a framing that hides flaws
– worked with light and movement
– avoided details that expose AI artifacts
Right now, this is the closest AI has come to a real art-directed brand photo for me.
Slop — or not?
Love the aesthetics and the vibe you managed to pull off here
Looks very realistic! I think AI image and video is a reality now and it is on us as creative artists to find a good use for it without compromising quality and artistic vision. Just like there is bad motion design or graphic design, there is bad AI, but there is also the other...
Exactly — AI doesn’t replace vision, it amplifies it when used with clear art direction. Thanks for articulating this so well.

Yes… I built a Flappy Bird–style game in Figma Make 🐤
Exploring how far interaction design can go when motion, logic, and creativity collide.
This one was fun. #FigmaMakeathon 🚀
This is really amazing 🔥
I have been using AI for brainstorming (majorly ChatGPT), to build wireframes and prototypes (Relume and Figma Make), to build assets (Midjourney, NanoBananaPro and ChatGPT). Sharing a quick hero exploration below. Did I miss any major design tools? Would love to learn more from fellow designers.
Solid stack. You might also explore tools like Galileo AI for rapid UI exploration or Framer AI for quick interactive validation. I’ve found pairing generation tools with fast prototyping loops makes iteration much tighter.
