Exploring AI in virtual design

The growing conversation between AI and the art generation has produced varied discourse among designers. Despite its many controversies, AI has been on the rise as an instrument in aiding and enhancing design outputs. Here are some of its pros and cons in interior design:

Pros: 

• AI increases the efficiency in the design process by producing output at a much faster pace.

• It accelerates the design process by generating floor plans, mood boards, and renders, tasks traditionally done manually by designers.

• Designers can now dedicate more time to the creative aspects of their jobs.

• AI enhances the client’s experience by providing a full and three-dimensional view of a space through virtual reality, facilitated by AI. This helps designers gain deeper insights into their clients' needs and preferences.

Cons

• AI is only as good as the data it is fed, which can lead to biased and limited outputs, particularly in generating content for niche or specific design needs.

• The revolution and full integration of AI in various industries are relatively recent, highlighting the prevalence of glitches in AI outputs. Designers must remain attentive to details and be knowledgeable about AI operations to be able to navigate potential issues that may arise.

AI can never fully replace human creativity despite its contributions to virtual design. And with AI’s inevitable rise and development, designers must learn to work with AI and use it to their advantage.
