There may be a question in your mind about whether I used ChatGPT to write this article. So let me clarify it first.

This article is not written by ChatGPT.

This article is about my experience using ChatGPT as a writer.

A few days ago, I told ChatGPT to write me an article about “Basic Fundamentals of User Interface Design."

And the response I received from ChatGPT was amazing.

But there are a few things I need to point out: I told the bot to write a 2000-word article, but it just stopped in the middle and didn’t complete it.

It gave me a 634-word written response.

But there are some flaws, as I told you.

Here are the things I discovered as a result of my unsuccessful attempt:

#1 Missing human touch

I recognize how clear this is. But it will be a major issue.

It’s a quality that no tool can replicate.

You may use ChatGPT as a general reference, source of inspiration, or insight for specific ideas.

ChatGPT will be ineffective when it comes to doing in-depth research, reviewing test results, and developing designs and experiences that put the needs of the user first.

#2 Content will become a pale imitation

ChatGPT is not for you if you appreciate creativity. AI tools lack creativity.

They use the information that has been provided to them.

And then reply with their training and the guidelines or something else that have been established by the creators of that tool.

Any information you receive from these tools is likely to have been put together from a fact that has been stated, published, or written elsewhere.

#3 Can be biased or can give misinformation

The tool may occasionally provide inaccurate and biased responses because it is not linked to the internet, according to OpenAI’s Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section.

The technology only has a limited understanding of events that occurred after 2021 since its training data was shut off that year.

Most importantly, there is no clarity of source. If you ask for a reference link for the content that ChatGPT generated, it will give you links that don't exist.

#4 Chances of risk

When and how you use the information you get from ChatGPT should be done with extreme caution. This will likely lead to more claims of plagiarism and copyright violation, in my opinion.

There are further concerns besides that, such as the potential for errors or inaccuracies in the design or content output, which could lead to wasted time and resources.

Conclusion

In truth, ChatGPT did write a piece. It had a clear framework or structure, a pretty nice flow, no errors, and some valuable information.

Fantastic and still-emerging technology is ChatGPT. Finding inspiration, offering ideas, and even producing design aspects like color palettes, typography, and layouts may boost designers’ output.

By improving the design process and automating some processes, ChatGPT may also help designers save time and effort.
