alt Hacker NewsThis website seems to have been generated by Codex - I asked Codex to create an HTML overview of a feature for my team and it made an overly produced monstrosity - complete with the same large stat boxes that were for the most part devoid of meaningful information - using the same font, colors, layout, hero section, etc. It was also terrible on mobile just like this is.
In the end I had Claude produce a one-page html file that was 95% of the way there and it took minor editing to clearly explain the intent of the feature.

That doesn't say much about any model though. For starters, any software engineer can tell you that leaving out features can drastically simplify any project.
A lot of LLM-driven design now looks like this. I don’t understand how people don’t find ugly the pairings with an heavily italicised serif. You also can’t read much of the page on mobile, because the code example keeps shifting the content around.
Now, that is overly critical, I’m sure their heart is in the right place. But a simpler website would do :)
