Figma AI looks rather heavily trained on existing apps. This is a "weather app" using the new Make Designs feature and the results are basically Apple's Weather app (left). Tried three times, same results.

if you join a startup and everything looks like a mess, what's not useful is pointing out all of the messes as if the very smart people who joined before you don't see them. 9/10 they do.
