Off topic: Is there anyone doing any research on how to use Claude/Agents to design websites that don't look so, "Claude"?

People always say that LLMs design websites/write text/produce code that is the same.

I don't really understand this b/c it's trivial to say "write me a letter in the style of <famous letter writer A> mixed with the style of "<famous letter writer B>"

Or

"Here are some examples websites, make a new website that is a remix of all of the example sites".

You would be surprised at the results.

I don't think it needs research the person developing just has to care what the website looks like. A lot of people just want functionality. But there are also pre-made front-end skills that do a lot of that front-end "taste" legwork for you (still obviously pre-made, but not in the default Claude look)

No research needed, just use the tool differently.

Maybe ask Claude how to keep the site up before doing a redesign of the UI...

“Give 20 different designs all must be distinct unique and not look averaged like a typical LLM site”

You should ask Claude and see how many kWh and gallons it can use up to hallucinate an answer.
