This is day one. You're seeing the results of amateurs adapting unspecialized tools. They're using minimal effort and still deriving head turning results. A great analogy might be all the folks making Geocities websites back in '99. Look at how far we've come from that. Can you even fathom where we'll be in five years? (Or even just this fall, given the pace of research and new startups optimizing models/workflows?)…
is that you sidney?
As a designer none of these make me worried about my skill set, they all look pretty bad with the slightest amount of attention. The real concern is how ugly a world the capitalists are willing accept to cut labor costs, and we know the answer, just look what capitalism did architecture. Dogshit buildings everywhere designed by contractors to avoid skilled labor. What an ugly time to be alive
At a startup I worked for we spent about £10,000 just on our brand and website design. That was a big chunk of our budget and I'm genuinely not sure that would be needed anymore. I think I could probably prompt AI to design a site and logo roughly as good.
People think AI is going to bridge some talent disparity between designers and developers vs non-technical types (and it probably will someday). But currently, AI is just acting like an infinity gauntlet with the designers and developers still holding all the stones.

> New websites will be rich and interactive as never before. So Flash is making a comeback?

AI still feels like self-driving cars to me. People saw some shadow of success there and said "by 2020 cars won't even have steering wheels" but who knows now if we will ever see them. I could be totally wrong, but my prediction is we see a ton of cool stuff but getting that last 5% down to where we can actually trust AI to run the show will not happen for a long time if ever.

Why? Do we need any of that aside from specialized tools (e.g. data intensive) for which it actually makes sense to use tried and proven tech?
Im sure new things are going to come out of AI, they’re already becoming obvious. But using AI to build things we already know how to do and just add more complexity is bound to not go anywhere useful in my opinion.
It's entertaining to have an AI create a fantasy web page for a fantasy product that's clearly not serious. Entertaining but I see it sooooo much now that it's kind of wearing off. However I'd like to see AI create a web page for an product that's appealing and plausible. This would be closer to seeing if the AI as a human replacement or not.
The high quality designs I have seen were for:
* Nike shoes
* Jetskis
* A donut shop
AI web design is not ready for prime time yet.
