Can ChatGPT be a legit design tool?

If you’re an Internet user, the topic of ChatGPT has probably filled up your mind these days. Everyone can’t stop buzzing about how transformational this chatbot is! ChatGPT initially launched in November 2022, but I took my time to test it out on my design process before forming an opinion. Now as I’ve done my fair share of digging, I must admit: ChatGPT is one of the most powerful tools you can use to maximise productivity as Designers. Here’s how ChatGPT can help you to revolutionize the design process: 1. ChatGPT for Brainstorming This is hands-down the best feature ChatGPT can help UX Designers with: Ask it to generate countless design ideas without getting stuck in the same thought patterns. If you want to take your brainstorming session to the next level with ChatGPT, you can even ask it to point out possible flaws in your design ideas. 2. ChatGPT for Prototyping Prototyping is usually quite time-consuming. But with ChatGPT, you can speed this whole process up by x2: - Describing your ideas - Watch it create a basic mock-up or prototype - Use this as your starting point and further refine This is a great way to quickly test out different concepts and see what works best for your users. 3. ChatGPT for Feedback As UX designers, it's essential to have our designs reviewed and evaluated. ChatGPT can help with this by giving you an instant critique or feedback based on the design prompt you provide. But be noticed that its answers can be quite messy if your prompt is not detailed enough. 4. ChatGPT for Predicting ChatGPT can analyse data and predict outcomes based on your design prompts, which is especially useful for data-driven UX design. You can ask ChatGPT to predict: - User behaviour - Predict the success of a design solution - Analyse the results of user testing. This feature helps you make informed decisions based on data and user insights. What did I miss?
