Yes, ChatGPT loves that shit.

#143Hmm its really interesting, im gonna try.
Re: The AI Aesthetic
#144Web devs gonna focus on web dev things. But, I’m more interested in the works of artists like https://www.rooperainisto.com/ and https://andreaciulu.com/ who embraced the glitchy aesthetic of early AI image generation and made it integral to their art instead of fighting it.
I miss the short era of glitchy dream-like AI images. I wish we'd never moved into real-ish, uncanny valley era.
Re: The AI Aesthetic
#145Interestingly, I've found that AI has actually made me more interested in design because I'm now able to actually do some things, whereas before I couldn't get my creative visions built. As an example, I recently built my company's website and I'm really happy with the result. I wanted it to have some hints of Rollercoaster Tycoon, and with a lot of experimentation, direction, tinkering, and examples I got to somethi…
Just wanted to say, really nice design. Night and day compared to the generic starting ones linked below.

I hate to be crass, I’m consciously trying to avoid well defined HN guidelines here, but the article is about discussing design aesthetics we encounter when we are interacring with AI not design asthetics the AI outputs when we ask it to write code for us. I get the confusion though, the title is a bit of a trick, probably on purpose

I read all of these as being about interacting with AI. It says apps made by AI labs have tiny icons, not that AI-generated apps have tiny icons.

I did wonder which one to put that under. It might be it own category of “made by AI company”, but I also think both Anthropic and OpenAI have been vocal about how their codex and Claude code is 100% AI generated
But how is AI outputing sparkle emoji or orange accents colors interacting with AI? Unless you also classify AI output as a form of interacting with AI

Thanks for not shipping your first draft!
Oh yeah I mean check these out: https://imgur.com/a/kLKTtAz https://imgur.com/a/9fidnRv The rollercoaster on the second one was the breakthrough that then eventually led to what I have today
The second link here is easily my favorite of the three.

The sparkle emoji has become an indicator for "this is an AI feature, click here to do AI things". I have even used it.
The beige UI with orange accents probably refers to the design guidelines of Anthropic, Mistral, Microsoft AI and a bunch of other companies. They all try to use soft, non-threatening colours, and for some reason those two are a popular choice.

I don't think these look "bad" exactly, but they do look like AI, and I don't think that's just because I know they are.
I don't think I'd clock the ramen one as AI, if not for the main image being AI generated.
Two words, two more. Good thing. Good thing. Buy it. Buy it. Feel good.
seems AI to me. Humans were doing marketing slop this way before AI but it doesn't really matter if the slop is AI or human.
