    I just can't fathom how a multi-billion dollar company like Cloudflare could forego their design standards. They seem to have updated their landing page [0], but it's still very sloppy.

      We&#x27;re down this now? Come on. A landing page doesn&#x27;t need a ton of design for a company as well known as Cloudflare.

      The site is just fine.

      Stop already with the AI doomerism.

        Negative response to low-effort AI-involved work is not what “AI doomerism” means.

        A college student who is also very clearly (fron the links beyond the blog) a very active and enthusiastic AI user that thinks common (if correctly identified as less than ideal) UI trends from before vibecoding was common are indicators of “AI slop” and not just design being the done by people who aren’t very good at it (which, to be fair, includes but is not limited to AI slop) is unsurprising and nothing like doomerism.

        You can disagree with the factual interpretations ans subjective interpretation in the piece without trying to tie it into a completely unrelated social phenomenon.
