alt Hacker NewsCan we get some examples of what a good UI looks like then? I would like to see a UI design expert take a couple of these slop designs and show what each should look like according to their taste.

Read Refactoring UI, originally written by the Tailwind devs. They also used to have a blog with some good articles: https://medium.com/refactoring-ui/7-practical-tips-for-cheat...
Even better would be some UI expert come up with an application interface for 10 common use cases. Then, give that to a group of designers, say it’s AI generated, and ask them to point out AI tells.
I’ve seen several of these “slop design” critiques lately. They don’t seem to be coming from people with strong design skills. (Presumably qualified designers have better things to do than critique AI designs. Also they probably know how to get what they want out of the AI instead of accepting what it creates.)
An authentic one, a one you create yourself regardless if it’s not perfect.
A half-joke answer is "not like this UI", which is surprisingly easy to prompt if you're already using agents for design.
