It's interesting how OpenAI and Anthropic effectively mass dumped a bunch of similar features in the last two days. I wonder what other features they're cooking right now.

I think that's the wrong question. What kind of shadow spy network must exist around all these companies such that they all happen to be working on the same features at the same time.

The Anthropic team looks to be eating all the usecases and application layer. I personally know of many figma + AI startups that are going to feel shaken up with this launch. Anthropic has distribution on their side, their engineers are excellent (I have ran with them across the ggb in the past and they work 12 hours plus a day regularly.) I think what actually might be slowing them down is the public releases and pr…

12+ hours a day regularly?

What a toxic workplace :/

I reckon something like this has only been possible to develop because of how homogenous the internet has become in terms of design ever since the glass effect and drop-shadows took over in Web 2.0 and Twitter Bootstrap entered the scene. You'll get a competent UI with little effort but nothing truly unique or mind-blowing. Impressive technology, but that old skool artisanal weirdness of yore only becomes more valuab…

I hate it so much. Ah, your website/app/program is comprised of rounded-corner cards in four colors (color/pale color/white/grey), with a dark theme. Your clickable text isn't visually distinguishable from your non-clickable text. All of your logos are sans-serif SVGs. Your settings and action menus are split across four different primary hidden locations. Your scroll bars disappear even when there's text hidden offs…

This aestethic is useful though for SaaS apps and the like that know themselves to be generic.

I'd argue it's relatively unimpressive given the ability to create design systems and apply themes to them to create relatively generic content has existed for a long time now.

Sure, some prototypes will be spun up more quickly. But if this was a real problem large companies faced it would have been solved in software already.

Thumbs down. Great design is original thought. AI is wholly incapable of that. Go ahead and roast me.

My default position: If an LLM can create it, we probably don't actually need it.

If AI can create it- it's probably already been created and thought of before?

> their engineers are excellent... they work 12 hours plus a day regularly

What? In my experience people who are good at their job can get it done in a reasonable amount of time. Working 12 hours a day is obsession, no competence. There can be overlap, but there is no causation.

This is exactly what I want in a UI.
