Cards have been in vogue for a while and I can’t recall the last time I saw super hard corners on a design system. It’s been a thing since at least Apple filing that patent on rounded corners.

You're absolutely right (as they say) - https://www.folklore.org/Round_Rects_Are_Everywhere.html
I don't think it's just the base rate of rounded corners though, these posts feel like the AI tends to spit out a bullet point list of features, like you'd see on an AI readme where each feature has a tangential emoji, then for a website puts them in a grid of rounded rects
Look at the website you're on
I guess I should say on a new design system. HN doesn’t update all that much (and in this context that’s a good thing)
