Generative UI is unsolved because current models do not have taste and end up generating the same kind of slop. I'm amazed that this blog doesn't even have a single screenshot/photo of the kind of UI they can generate. Focusing on benchmarks in this domain feels very wrong.

Gen UI is meant to be design agnostic, the output is just the content and the form. It is on the implementation, agentic or human to make it look good.
Quite interesting to see no real comments here for 50+ minutes, so I will kick it off. I'm a huge believer in this future of software. Having the UI layer completely abstracted from pre-written code and dynamically generated "on the fly" based on the context of the user is, I believe, the future. Just think about the complexity of localization and how many IFs you had to write to solve different language versions, et…
this exactly the future we are working towards as well. You should checkout AppLess http://github.com/thesysdev/appless

Imagine AppLess running a model as good as qwen at 20,000 tok/sec. It would be generated in a shorter amount of time as downloading a webpage right now. If this works out the consequences are kind of scary. The end of SaaS, the end of software being the moat or the property of companies, the embolstering of data protection (since that's fundamentally what code operates)...

Typing this comment also did not solve your problem, because that would require the author to read your comment, add more screenshots and it would require that you revisit it.
> Interfaces must be generated in under a second Why? Is two seconds too long? Would your other constraints be easier (usability and hardware spec) if this was longer? Does anyone actually need a UI generated in under a second?
Do you hate the designer changed the UI of your favorite app so you have to relearn it every three months? Congrats! Now you need to relearn it every time you open the app.
I can think of one use case for this: Dashboards to answer one-off questions. Think PowerBI, Tableau, etc.

There's an image in the article and a full website with more media is just 1 click away. Instead you resorted to typing 272 characters not including ENTER, and I doubt that was easier than clicking the logo to visit the homepage.

I don't know what media you are talking about. It's all slop worse than current slop.
Someone steel man the case for users actually wanting to be a UI designer for the application they pay you for.
GenUI isn't about designing cosmetic "skins." (Usually, anyway. I guess it could be used for that) It's generally for letting users customize the own workflows. How many times have you, or one of your users, liked a piece of software because it mostly fits an existing workflow but that remaining 20% is an annoyance, or maybe even a dealbreaker? This is probably more common for businesses. They have existing procedure…
Earlier quoted context omitted.
The term "Generative UI" refers to a front-end design approach where an AI model dynamically builds a UI in real time instead of relying on static, hard-coded templates.
This just seems incredibly wasteful. What value does that add?
