How does a human designer even compete? I just looked at all the demos and they look beautiful.
I hand designed my site https://www.nair.sh/ and it feels like it doesn't even compare.
Sure, there's some judgment as to what design is appropriate in a given situation, but it just feels like so much harder for a human's design to feel valuable now.
We are soon going to converge on all websites looking exactly the same, we’re almost there really
It’s just the same sterile template used for everything, yeah it looks good first time you See it. But the 100th? It starts to look like noise
Are you a designer? Everything AI does looks impressive if you are not familiar with it.
You're right in that our expertise can see how this was not generated with the same kind of thoughtfulness that we might apply.
But you're wrong in implying (if you are) that it's not valuable to be impressive to a non-expert.
Or isn't it? You are one step away from deploying superficially impressive things, without understanding what is lacking.

I feel the designs they present are actually quite bad. Like... they are an anti-ad for this product. Just random fonts, bold, italics, underlines. Bad contrast, skinny small fonts.
Your site is actually really nice except the red color burns into my retina, so that's the only thing I would change about it (change your --primary to something more like #7c2c3e)
How do human artists compete with AI-gen images?
Yes, we're building a dystopia where AIs do the work humans enjoy, and humans get to hold on to drudgery. What's not to like?
Nothing stops humans from doing what they enjoy

Your point? It's an analogical problem.
I love writing but even there I have to work doubly hard to make sure I'm doing something valuable.
My point is that the space within which human creators can distinguish themselves is diminishing rapidly.
Originality. The same as with art. Art and design are more than just a mean to satisfy a need. They are an opportunity to explore, to question. When Georges Seurat developed pointillism, he wasn't trying to compete with the people who could imitate Raphael. He created his own direction.
Yes but you're talking about groundbreaking work.
There's so much joy to be found in regular human creating and sharing.
The creating part still remains because it's intrinsic but the sharing part feels discouraging now.
Regular, non-groundbreaking creative work seems ... less worthy of sharing?

Why? Is a chair that you made with your own hands not as valuable to you because somebody else got one from Ikea? Would you not show it to your friends for this reason?
