People have been asking the question - "How Do I Stand-Out in Web Design When AI Makes Everything Look the Same?" (HDISOWDWAMELS for short.) Good question. Quite simply, the easiest way is to be aware of what other people are doing, then do something else. It sounds simple in theory but awareness is actually a lot of work in itself. For me, I have a few pet peeves in response to recent design practices: • I *hate* rounded corners, which is overdone in basically every major app right now. It makes everything look like idiocracy and I feel like it's insulting the intelligence of the users out there. • I get that dark mode is cool right now but I'm getting tired of looking at it all day. There are other ways to stare into the abyss if you must. • Overexplaining every button, feature, or menu (see above: treating your users like they're dummies) So much wasted space! AI is actually very good at doing front-end work right now because most of the "problems" in UI/UX has been "solved" at this point. It won't solve your biggest (or even medium sized) problems but if you want a mockup done quickly, it's the best thing out there right now! Now for a non-native programmer (I know how to code...only badly) this is kind of cool because now all I have to do is complain about aesthetics and the robot will fix it for me. Sort of! You have to kick it around a bit before it gets acceptable but if you know what you're looking for, it eventually gets around to it. 😂
