Naming layers has been a problem for decades . There are even memes about it. With the advent of AI, we all knew this is a perfect match where AI can help from day one. Happy to see it arrive to Figma now.

CSS has had a similar issue with naming classes, which is one reason for how TailwindCSS’s design. I wonder if we’ll see more AI tools for these kinds of use cases.

Are we about to solve the two hard problems in CS?

I saw this in a few of my friends' companies. I have asked to everyone how is storing data in Azure is better than using Azure ChatGPT API, and till now I haven't been able to get a good answer.

The answer is likely in the contract your company has with Microsoft.

It's a pretty standard terms for all the companies unless you are huge.

Is that control opt-out by default?

Another commenter mentioned that the default is no training for Enterprise and Organization accounts, but for Starter and Professional accounts the default allows training and you need to explicitly opt out.

Once again saying that these dark patterns should be illegal.

They have not yet started doing any training on user content and I applaud them for that. (They've only used public community files so far.) However, they are headed that way to support advanced AI features. Quoting Fimga: Two important highlights: First, all admins have control of whether their team’s content data is used for training. Second, participation in AI content training is not required to use Figma or Figm…

It’s opt out for lower plans and opt in for higher plans

Somehow I hate that more.

Despite the ethical concerns, it would be very useful if Figma offered an option for large organisations to train an organisation-level model that does not share data with the rest of the world. I believe the opt-in rate would be much higher.

Yeah this one is crazy cool, not even a designer, but my figma prototypes are trash to manager after a while, any approximate name is better than my Layer 1231

Exactly. TBH, I don't understand why there wasn't some auto-naming logic even before AI. Names like "avatar wrapper" or "left column" are not difficult to infer from the layout in many cases. Plus it doesn't need to be anywhere near 100% precise – as you hinted, naming something "layer 1231" is utterly useless anyway.
