We also note that semi-finished products in the design process are a form of real object. Generative design's advantage lies in iterating countless "finished products" for selection, but its negative effects are equally significant: much of the processing workflow is hidden what is unseen does not mean it does not exist.
In classic modern design works, semi-finished elements have successfully become final components, whereas generative design's dissolution of semi-finished products severely weakens creative intent. These objects also carry the emotions of human designers during execution.
Generative design's dominant technique diffusion models replaces and blends the experiences of all studio artists. The biggest problem with generative design is bypassing the emotional evolution process, erasing the procedural nature of works, substituting human creative experience, and completely negating the value of semi-finished products.
Compared to market-ready finished products, semi-finished works may hold the most "artistic" essence. Thus, we conducted case studies on design assets in Chapter 2.
