I'll echo the rest, once you've seen a dozen of AI-generated geospatial dashboards, the style is easily recognizable. Starting to wonder if there's some negative feedback loop which makes the LLMs converge toward one distinct style.

I've worked in this space for a decade now, and the tools we use (unavailable to the public) rarely look like the ones which LLMs have generated for the past year or two.

Also, not saying that there's not any value in these, but every single of these dashboards I've seen suffer from the same thing: Information overload.

For whatever reason, the models just absolutely deluge the app with all sorts of features and information.

I think you point out something really important: there real value isn't the data, it's in surfacing the useful data.

For amateur astronomers, an interesting question is whether there is a satellite above me that I can see tonight (and when / where)? For professionals, the literal million dollar questions are more like: are there any satellites on a collision course? Which satellites have moved recently and why? Is there a dime-sized piece of metal somewhere out there that could hit my (employer's) satellite?

The thing most people seem to be missing is that ai does the work, but still needs to be guided. When it comes to design, at our little company, our main job is to direct the style and not tell it to make something. So we are actively directing it towards specific, by us determined, styles. We did this for numerous companies [1]. So yes, Ai generated dashboards can look really amazing, but the person directing them has to spend time creative directing it.

I think it's as simple as "website builder tool has a default theme to go with unless told to use something else".

That’s not an LLM issue, it is a human curation issue. The LLM only does what the human behind the wheel tells it to do.

I have a different take....

I don't really care that they all look alike as long as the sites usable to me for its intended purposes. Honestly, having each site have its own brand is annoying to me.

For years of dealing with badly designed sites, I wished then that they _copy_ a better design even if it looked generic. Even copying a simple but usable design would have made many sites easier to use.

I don't want the site to win an art contest, I want the information to make a decision. At a min just be easy in the eyes and intuitive to use and get the info.
