On: How our vibe coded website looks like a designer made it

[hk1337]

AI can do an awesome job at UI and come up with really nice look but I feel like there’s a lot of psychology behind UX that AI cannot necessarily pick up on the human element.

Explain what cannot be picked up on and why.

The LLMs have ingested courses and books on UI, UX, psychology, neuroscience, consumer neuroscience, etc. What makes it incapable of getting this information?

Clicking through the website with computer use isn't currently part of the website generation chain for most models, and while there are gaze prediction models, to my knowledge none are productized or universal to the point where you can chuck them in and consistently predict what draws attention on any given page

(Generally I think it is alright to interpret "can't do" in terms of "the common workflow that current models will afford" and not "definitionally incapable of")

Humans have the same limitations in this, we model an idea using prior knowledge for what will draw attention, then we test it and evaluate it.

I was not making an argument about people, I was trying to identify specific reasons why models can produce samey UIs unless guided

Ugh, my little kid talks to me like this.

Let's try again. What's a nicer way of saying that?
