Interesting take. What do you think of using AI exploitatively? I have no doubt it can easily generate drafts or copy the style of one thing onto another, letting us rapidly try out ideas.
replyNothing wrong with that. My point is that AI, for this purpose, is a passive component. Passive components are often essential parts of active machines.
replyI agree with what you're saying, but I imagine products like this one aren't aimed at replacing this. LLMs are partially a dashboard business, and this is just one tool to aim at your boring business data
replyInteresting take and I pretty much agree (also, I find it funny that now the only interesting comments on HN are all found at the bottom).
replyHowever, there is of course a raw mechanical side to design that comes more into play on practical applications like a software UI vs. pure play memes/vibes like branding or a landing page.
Think hierarchy, leading, kerning, scale, contrast, balance, etc. These things remain constant throughout trend cycles and can absolutely get you half way there. Then aesthetic memes can be sprinkled on top by a human to make people believe "this feels cool."
