SummaryA study of five expert UI/UX designers using generative AI to design landing-page hero sections finds that design intent is not transmitted via prompts but co-constructed through 'lexical oscillation' between vague, design-domain, and operational language. Mismatches with AI outputs prompt designers to reconsider their intent, shifting engagement from instruction to consultation.
Why it mattersEmpirical HCI study documents that prompts are not one-way intent transmission but iterative meaning-making. Useful lens for designers and for builders of generative design tools.
