McDonalds. Homogenous everywhere in the world. US, Italy, Japan, Brazil, same stuff. Good pizza in Italy, goos ramen in Japan, grilled Picanha in Brazil, that's why you go there and want it different/original. But in software UI this is often overdone. I want the pizzazz in my audio software in what it produces , not in how the UI looks like.

The American McDonald’s is a magnitude worse than the European (all of them), Australian or New Zealander. The menu is different in every country. However, it’s getting more uniform. Cheeseburger is the same basically everywhere outside of America, but not there. As somebody who got used to the European McDonald’s and tried it in about 30 countries all around the world, American McDonald’s is inedible. So there are differences. I completely understand the American sentiment of it, because it’s really, really terrible there.

I'm not sure if I'm holding it wrong, but at these usage rates, I can hardly see this being useful for designers in their daily work. In two prompts using the Max 20x plan, it consumed 11% of my weekly limit for Claude Design, which is separate from your normal limits. A day of work would exhaust over four weeks of usage. Is this meant for intermittent use only? Lately I've been getting the feeling that Anthropic is…

11% of $50 -- did you get $5.50 of value out of it? Would a designer have charged you more then $5.50 to create the same?

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…

You know where this is all going ? In a direction where the AI model basically serves you everything live. No sites, no front end, just databases and model embodying them. I mean why even code anything in the future where it is cheap and fast enough to just come up with everything each time based on each user need. I am not saying it’s good but it’s lazy. And if one thing is for certain is that laziness prevails. Som…

I think that's where everything is headed.

As if designers spend most of their time actually "designing". Same flaw of thinking with programmers and AI replacing their jobs. As if the main problem (and a major time waster) is actually programming and not dealing with a million of other things.

But AI is replacing programmer jobs. AI is taking on a part of those 'million other things' as well, and if you can shrink your organization due to AI use, many of those other things just go away.

But it is not replacing programmer jobs, it's a fantasy world

There's no shame in being homogenous and obvious, though. If I'm building out an internal tool for, say, a hospital lawyer to search through malpractice lawsuits, I want my tool to be the most familiar, obvious, least-surprising UI/UX possible. Just stay out of the way and do what it's supposed to do. The trick is, of course, that the human is still responsible for knowing when homogenous is fine, or when there's rea…

Would you like your hammer to have a new and innovative design, or do you want it to look exactly like any other hammer? The majority of UIs exist for the user to perform a task as effectively as possible, and they benefit from being familiar.

You replace designers with who? Who is the magic person (who is not a designer) doing the work? CEO? CTO? I heard these stories when Midjourney started and everyone on gamedev channels where screaming how artists/graphic designers would be irrelevant... I was always puzzlde by who is going to be doing their work if they are gone...

Whoever used to assign tasks to the designer might now be able to assign them to a bot instead. Or the design may be part of a larger task that has been delegated to a bot.

It's a pipe dream sorry

> Marriott is basically the same for hotels. Marriotts are sadly not the same between countries, and that's probably a good thing. The standard for large chain hotels in the US are much, much lower than everywhere else in the world. Full-service Hiltons in the US don't even have executive lounges anymore.

> The standard for large chain hotels in the US are much, much lower than everywhere else in the world. this is true for fast food as well. mcdonalds in poland and spain were MUCH better than the slop in america. I had taco bell here in srilanka recently. it was DELICIOUS and tasted like real food. same goes for popeyes and pizza hut here. pizza hut in america on the other hand tastes regrettable and left me feeling…

I have Taco Bell here in the USofA and it is also delicious. Delicious slop that has sadly become overpriced, but I love it.

I think the long term idea is that AI becomes continuous in the sense that it behaves like a regular employee, not something you have to prompt. So at a mid sized company say 100 "entities", the CEO has directors still, they have managers, but the managers are managing AI agents not humans. But I don't think that's how it plays out. I think you still need to imbue talent, skills and direction into these tools and I d…

For my agency this won't replace Figma or designers. It's just a really useful tool to express yourself and communicate intent. Before these tools, when a client wanted a specific section built, we'd spend hours hunting references across the web. The output always ended up feeling like a mesh of 2-3 sites, never fully unique. Then we'd burn more time explaining the intent to the client's designers and devs, usually w…

> this won't replace Figma or designers If every designer takes less time to do their job, you need less designers. There’s no getting around that simple math.

...assuming all design needs are currently being met. Countless companies would benefit greatly from hiring a designer but haven't been able to, because the cost has been too high relative to the gain. If design becomes cheaper and faster, those companies enter the market — so lower cost per project doesn't necessarily mean fewer designers overall.
