I asked claude to generate a frontend and it made the same template. Same san serif and serif fonts together. Same colors. Same typography. Same layout and animations even. It’s wild how similar it is. No not similar it’s the same damn thing.

It produces the "most average" web design unless you really prompt your way out, isn't it? If you don't care enough to prompt, Claude does not care to be individual.

I’ve seen the same dashboard for a dozen custom web applications now, including a couple I had it make for me.

It really does have a particular lane for each chore, and it’s reproducible.

Yep and when you see it in the wild it stands out like a sore thumb, absolutely no thought into a bit of a unique design or branding.

I have a few live websites built using LLMs and they will just go for default generic templates and colours if there's no vision.
