An entitled rant about homogenous AI-generated websites
I may get downvoted for this, but as a designer (who is not opposed to using AI or vibe coding), I'm already getting tired of the same AI-generated websites that are easy to spot.
Much like image generation, there's an "uncanny valley" feeling to the websites, and I was able to narrow some of the tell-tale signs:
- They all seem to pull from the same Tailwind, Radix, or Shadcn component libraries
- Overall minimal and safe design
- Rounded cards with thin borders
- 3-column feature grid
- Soft shadows
- Gradient hero
- Fade-in scroll animations
- All pull from component libraries from either Tailwind, Radix, or
It feels like so much humanity and personality are taken away, even if technically all the visual brand elements are being used.
So I implore you agencies - if you're going to use AI more for website generation, please work on prompts and specific elements that add a little more life to these sites.
