It's actively unhelpful even for the most "non-technical" of users to further anthropomorphize LLMs and "agentic" workflows that boil down to moving plaintext around

The design is cute but this is an abstraction that simply has no reason to exist, and is the opposite of what better UX looks

Fittingly for an AI page, the "Easter egg" page lags my phone significantly.

Not to be confused with Berd spokes/wheels.

Keeping aside the functionality of the app, the vibe of the web page and those mascots is NOT IT. They are unsettling and creepy

Creepy and cringe is recent mega trend. I feel like early 90s and its pseudo-cyber-punk.

Nevertheless, Berd’s homepage is like Teletubbies and Thomas The Tank Engine have babies :)

I think that's the point, no? The page is light on text but appears to be some kind of weird art project making fun of the inane "helpful and friendly" personas given to LLM chatbots

		Are you sure? Given it’s from Block I really cannot tell if it is some meta irony or serious

You can love it or hate it but it's unforgettable
