Why AI Design Apps Are Like a Fast-Food Drive-Thru

Alright, let’s talk about AI in interior design. You’ve probably seen it: those apps that promise to take your living room from “meh” to “wow” in a flash. It’s like magic! Or… is it?

Well, let’s break it down, because AI is cool, but it’s not a miracle worker. Unless your idea of a miracle is getting a virtual room design that includes a couch mysteriously floating two feet above the floor.

The Cool Stuff AI Can Do

AI is basically your super-speedy design assistant. Need a room concept in 0.3 seconds? AI’s got you. Want to see your kitchen decked out in every style from Scandinavian to “this-is-definitely-too-much-glam”? AI can give you ideas. It’s fast, affordable, and will happily generate designs all day, as long as you don’t mind it never needing a coffee break.

  • Speedy and Fun: AI is like that friend who’s always ready to give you 100 ideas before you’ve even had breakfast. You get instant visuals, and it’s fun to play around.
  • Idea Machine: Need inspiration? AI will bombard you with enough style options to make your head spin. But hey, at least you’ll never be short on ideas.

Where AI Hits a Snag

But let’s be real. AI isn’t perfect. If you’re hoping for a design that feels like it understands you- like really gets your vibe- AI is not quite there. It’s more like, “Here’s what a computer thinks a cozy living room should be.” And sometimes, that means a fireplace with a neon blue flame. Yikes.

  • No Soul, No Feelings: AI doesn’t understand the way your grandma’s antique lamp makes you feel. It just thinks, “Huh, this does not match the modern aesthetic.” Rude.
  • Not a Detail Queen: Want to swap out that doorknob for a brushed brass finish? AI doesn’t care. It gives you broad strokes, not the fine-tuned, nit-picky details you crave.

Why People Expect AI to Be a Magical Genie (But It’s Not)

Now, I hang out in design Facebook groups a lot (like, a lot), and here’s the deal: People expect AI to do everything perfectly and for free. Let me say that again: for free. Spoiler alert-  it’s not.

Good AI design software costs money. And even then, you need someone like me to finesse the design so your room doesn’t look like a Sims build gone wrong.

Speaking of money, at £45 per room, my service is very comparable to the cost of AI apps, but with the added benefit of personalized support tailored to your needs.

And believe me, using this AI software is no walk in the park. It takes training, practice, and a whole lot of patience. (Imagine trying to explain your dream room to a robot that thinks “boho chic” means covering everything in fringe.)

Apps vs. AICI’s Personalized Service

Let’s compare: AI apps are like a fast-food drive-thru. You get your order quickly, but sometimes your burger is cold and they forgot the fries.

My service at AICI? It’s more like a cozy, sit-down meal where everything is made just the way you like it. Sure, it costs a little more than a dollar menu item, but it’s still budget-friendly, and you get a real, satisfying experience.

  • AI Apps: Fun, quick, and cheap. But you’ll have to put in some work, and the results might miss the mark.
  • My Service: Affordable, customized, and human-touched. I use AI to make your room shine, but I also bring my design know-how to the table.

Why AI Isn’t Free (And That’s Okay)

Look, running AI software isn’t cheap. There are tech costs, subscriptions, and the endless hours I’ve spent mastering this stuff so you don’t have to.

So when someone says, “Why isn’t this free?” I just smile and think about the endless cups of coffee I’ve needed to make sure your design looks amazing.
