All of these examples sites are broken on mobile for me.
This begs for a modern version of https://csszengarden.com/ , where the CSS is generated by different LLMs and prompts.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I have seen so many brown sites that look all the same, all designed by this thing most likely. So no.
Agreed. It's not that the designs it produces are bad necessarily, they're just very same-y. People often talk about the bootstrap era, but that wasn't as bad because bootstrap wasn't so strongly associated with low-effort slop projects (low-effort on the frontend maybe, but not the project as a whole).
Every steaming pile said less about the development effort and so much more about the project management. This same boneheaded top-down approach is why AI isn't working for anyone without being willing to pour as much effort into babysitting as just writing the damn code yourself.
Old adages continue to ring true and as loud as ever. There's no such thing as a free lunch.
I think this says more about "modern" UI than it does about AI slop. The awfulness of all this comes mostly from the fact that widgets no longer have consistent shape, theme or interaction behaviour ever since desktop paridigms and original Xerox/Parc research were abandoned in favour of web slop. So yeah, this is much more Web Slop than AI Slop. AI is just amplifying it.
Continuing in that vein, it'd be interesting to see a Win98 version. Edit: https://retr0.id/stuff/deslop/
I thought that AI would at least be good at 2 things: writing (text) and doing UI. It's not good at either. Text it generated reads like slop and UI it creates looks like slop. The way I approach it now is this: for text, I have to write it myself and only use AI to check grammar and catch weirdly phrased passages. For UI, it's like with the rest of the code. You have to stay on the top of it and keep demanding chang…
Give me VB6 or whatever for the web.
You really have to a) use Opus and b) use the frontend-design skill for decent results. https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/blob/main/plugins/...
I've had better results with this, when it comes to functional UIs rather than marketing sites: https://github.com/Dammyjay93/interface-design Found it on reddit after Claude produced the lamest looking generic forms for all the pages on a project I had it build. This did a pass over it and basically fixed it all one shot.
