How does a human designer even compete? I just looked at all the demos and they look beautiful.

I hand designed my site https://www.nair.sh/ and it feels like it doesn't even compare.

Sure, there's some judgment as to what design is appropriate in a given situation, but it just feels like so much harder for a human's design to feel valuable now.

We are soon going to converge on all websites looking exactly the same, we’re almost there really

It’s just the same sterile template used for everything, yeah it looks good first time you See it. But the 100th? It starts to look like noise

Are you a designer? Everything AI does looks impressive if you are not familiar with it.

I feel the designs they present are actually quite bad. Like... they are an anti-ad for this product. Just random fonts, bold, italics, underlines. Bad contrast, skinny small fonts.

Your site is actually really nice except the red color burns into my retina, so that's the only thing I would change about it (change your --primary to something more like #7c2c3e)

Originality. The same as with art. Art and design are more than just a mean to satisfy a need. They are an opportunity to explore, to question. When Georges Seurat developed pointillism, he wasn't trying to compete with the people who could imitate Raphael. He created his own direction.
