LLM-created designs are already recognizable and are the new Microsoft keynote templates. Boring, vapid, devoid of personality, perfectly fine for business use.
So as a design engine, sure. What things like this are trying to claim is that you can get "good" design and well, that's subjective. Y'know how people who don't understand kerning can look at bad kerning and feel something's not right but lack the words to explain why? The same goes for LLM design.
I'm not a luddite, I enjoy using Claude to assist in coding tasks but visual design will never be something I choose to use any LLM for. Design is for humans and LLMs lack taste.
I agree with the author so much. Every git forge looks like Temu Github. It's boring and lame.
At the top of this year I mocked up a hypothetical forge I'd use[1]. I then found the domain eol.sh was available so I snagged it. I'm currently using cgit for my personal public repos but I cannot wait to work on EOL. I'm gonna steal OP's ideas too, they sound good.
