Gislaine Camila Leal, Guilherme Guerino, Igor Wiese, Karoline Romero, Renato Balancieiri

Generative AI produces usable interface prototypes but they are seen as less original than human designs.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

GenAI can produce functional interfaces but tends to reinforce visual and structural patterns that affect perceptions of originality.

C2weakest assumption

That the chosen AI-generated and human-created prototypes were representative of typical outputs and that the blinded UEQ-S ratings accurately captured differences in perceived originality without influence from prototype selection criteria.

C3one line summary

AI-generated UI prototypes rate high on usability and efficiency but low on originality and innovation compared to human designs.
