We built the frontend for https://brooked.io and https://app.brooked.io using only prompting so I agree!

You could argue that what you built isn't novel or complex in any way -- (politely) it's basically a clone of hundreds of other SAAS homepages. i.e. its a perfect use-case for AI.

Perhaps the results would be different if you had a specific novel design or interaction in mind, and you wanted the AI to implement that exactly as you wanted.

edit: My point proven by the other examples from this thread. Same format, same "feature cards" etc. https://bridge.ritza.co/ https://poolometer.com/

I think it’s ok that it’s similar to other SaaS websites. It wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for LLMs and it gets the job done and looks decent.

It shows.

The landing page looks like every other AI slopped product page out there.

It’s funny how there are a bunch of responses to this post all showing off their great AI designs that are literally the same thing with different (each horrible) color palettes.

It's really weird. I don't even care if they used AI as part of their development process. But most AI™ developed stuff is just so insanely soulless crap I can instantly can tell and instinctively close the tab.

If you're AI developed software was so great, I couldn't tell it's AI.

Like I cannot wrap my head around how anyone vibe slops and think "No, this is good. I will now proudly show this off."

I'm guessing the third word is "directly“? The D is cut off. And the grammar is wrong, should be "in your spreadsheets" - maybe that is another letter cut off?

Go back to human devs.
