Figma's built-in AI for copy changes etc is woeful... They really need to lift the game in this space

The hate directed at this young female designer shows how underdeveloped and over-opinionated many on here are. If you want to thrive in a high-performing team, you need high EQ and the ability to give feedback that’s constructive and respectful.
