Creating a CODING.md or FRONTEND.md with rules and expectations for your LLM helps tremendously. You're right AI is not great at frontend (yet), but it does lift alot of the load. Like the top commenter says, there's not a great harness for iterative frontend building. But it can get you 80% of the way there if you give it some rules, and can do the annoying bits so you can concentrate on the 20% that is about design, effective communication and pixel-perfection.
I don't even agree with that... even if you constrain it to a pretty prescriptive toolkit (MUI, Mantine, etc) it still does a pretty janky job of things.
