With today's latest [1]Stitch updates, Google is [2]trying to make "vibe design" happen , reports The Verge's Jay Peters. The AI-native design platform encourages users to describe goals, feelings, or inspiration in "natural language," rather than starting with traditional blueprints.
In a [3]blog post , Google Labs Product Manager Rustin Banks says that Stitch can turn those inputs into interactive prototypes, automatically map user flows, and support real-time iteration. It introduces voice capabilities that allow users to "speak directly to [the] canvas" for feedback or changes. Tools like DESIGN.md also help users create reusable design systems across various projects.

Because goals, feelings and inspiration is exactly what you need to create a reliable design / software.
According to non-programmer product managers who know shite.

those of us who design what apps n stuff should do, we're not as worried (yet, true,) as devs.
because almost everything out there, for AI to learn from, re- design, is terrible.

The very last thing I'm going to do is share my goals, feelings, or inspiration with Google. Fuck that. Hard.

The thoughts and feelings designers come up with are often just plagiarized smoke to blow up a client's ass. Nothing is lost by letting Google see that stuff; they probably already have an algorithm that infers all that stuff from an existing design so it's going to end up in the LLM an hour after it hits the web.
