The New Google Stitch - Are Designers Finished?

A veteran designer with nearly 30 years of experience gives a first-look review of Google Stitch, a new AI-powered UI design tool. Testing it by generating a landing page from a PRD document, the results are found to be mediocre — functional but lacking polish, with limited editing capabilities and poor iterative refinement. The conclusion is that AI design tools are still best suited for rough prototyping rather than production-quality work, and that human design judgment remains essential. A community challenge is announced encouraging others to try Google Stitch and submit their results.
