    Ex-Apple Designer Shares AI Creativity Framework

    TLDR

    Anshu, formerly at Apple, published the piece on Lenny Rachitsky's newsletter. It argues that extensive post-training turns LLMs into safe next-token predictors, limiting bold design ideas. The post lists concrete prompting approaches to restore creativity. Lenny called the insights eye-opening after previously dismissing AI for design tasks. Readers report immediate testing of the methods, including generating random strings as seeds and creating infographics to visualize the framework.

      This was such an amazing piece to read. As a self proclaimed SaaS wizard design is something I deal with often (and somehow end up spending most time on) so this is a godsend. https://twitter.com/lennysan/status/2094821687590375802

    Extremely proud of this article I wrote for the legendary @lennysan! This is the culmination of months of research into why most AI designs are slop, and my top techniques for fixing this. LLMs can be super creative, but as we post-train them more and more, we stifle that…
