"Great design prompts require design vocabulary. Most people don't have it."

Vocabulary is just the surface. Beneath it is an understanding of how to achieve your goals with design. How to make things that are easy to use, accessible, that create a certain impression.

Does this website (presumably made with the help of these AI tools) show this kind of understanding of design? Not really. It's chaotic, the text is often hard to read and there is a ton of fluff, both in terms of visuals and copy.

There is a "Frequently Asked Questions" section and a "Popular" $100 tier in the "Support the Project" section, even though this project seems to be brand new. Why lie to the reader?

Let's call it "form over function."

That landing page example is devastatingly bad. You start with a page that has usage numbers, uptime, support 24/7 and a customer rating above the fold. You end up with a page that lacks all of these advantage and instead looks bland and has horrible typography and even less text contrast.

In line with that, the Dashboard looks more organized in the "after" picture, but that's because it lost most of its useful information.

Let me pull out my 5000 px tall monitor so I can see the examples further down the page. impeccable style, really

Concept seems fun, and I'm expecting we'll see a bunch of those in the next few weeks/months. UX of that specific page seems broken, however, as the container for the explanation of each "function" doesn't scroll along with the rest of the content (stays stuck at the top) and makes it impossible to see.

Putting aside the execution:

It's interesting to see people creating and 'selling' agent skills. This one asks for donations, but I was expecting to see a stripe link and 'download for 4 dollars, yours forever' (personally I think that would convert better...)

I wonder if there will be full-blown skill marketplaces soon. Would that be a way for some experts to recoup some (presumably very small portion) of the income they might lose due to generative AI market effects?

I like the idea of this, but in the examples I thought the "Before" looked much better on all 3...

How is AI going to make a great design if it can't even draw a penguin on a bicycle?

The "Before" examples look infinitely better than the "After" examples. Tells you all you need to know. Wouldn't be at all surprised if this whole thing was a ridiculous joke or a satirical commentary on pretentious design.

i do not understand what this even is. Some stylesheets? What am I even downloading when I click "download"?

replacing a metrics dashboard with text is one of the choices you could make

From the authors website:

Renaissance Geek (noun)

A person who moves fluidly between art, technology, narrative, and systems — guided by curiosity instead of specialization.

With AI as their amplifier, this breadth makes them dangerous enough to build the future rather than be shaped by it.

impeccable (adj.)

Of user interface style: low contrast and hence poor readability, with excessive white space.

What does this even do? Read most of the page but still didn't understand the project actually is

I had to triple check which was which in the `BEFORE` and `AFTER` examples, because I can see an awful lot of things that it's made worse.

Love it when the design tool breaks halfway down the page.

They set themselves up for a fall when they named themselves "Impeccable Style"

The mix of sans and serif fonts on their website is a mess. There's too much negative space, and it's inconsistent. Too many font sizes, and some that are so tiny they're illegible.

In the landing page before/after example, I think the "before" design looks more appealing.
