    I'm really pissed off that my favorite web design style Brutalism is now an AI slop smell. They already took my em-dash! *shakes fist*.

    Now that I think about it, Brutalist web design always reminds me of 80s and 90s video games. I wonder if the increased adoption of Brutalist webdesign has something to do with "nostalgia porn" instead of LLMs.

    Stuff I'm missing in the list: "Claude beige" and "Claude anthracite grey".

      I have an inkling that this will become cyclical, like fashion. Just wait a couple of years and any currently overused LLM style might become more unique again.
