What exactly looks bad about it? These models have been trained on high converting UX patterns. They are definitely homogenous but I am not sure they look bad.

I made a similar reply to another comment here but,
It really gives me the ick when I see websites about things like game modding projects, things that are for-fun creative projects, and they're full of AI linkedin-speak. I feel like if you were excited about building a mod for a game you wouldn't need AI to describe it for you, or write the announcements/reddit posts trying to reach out to the community.
Why... Maybe the website is the thing that's the least fun or the least important and that would be a good fit for delegating that work to an AI, isn't it?
Because even if you had AI make the website surely you'd be able to describe what your project is yourself if you cared about it.
> "high converting UX patterns"
That _is_ the problem: ostensibly serious writing laced with marketing / clickbaity patterns is off-putting.
It lacks in... everything.
Like when you were a kid goofing around with some art supplies and you tried to mix every color of crayons, markers, watercolors, and/or colored pencils together to be both anything and everything all at the same time: It's just a sea of homogeneous brown yuck.
That homogenized yuck might work for code that is ultimately interpreted by a machine and that performs some kind of human-described function, but in writing (and in menu boards) it's just highly-emphatic sludge.
The homogenization of the internet. The worst corporate speak PR pages are now what gets generated for every pet project
Haven't they also been trained on badly converting UI patterns?
Everything. It's horrible. Bad colors, cringe delivery, awkward prose.
It's quintessential ai slop.
But that's fine, because nobody forced me to read it, so I'm unbothered.
