Why Everything Feels Like AI Slop
AI is very powerful. It helps us move faster than ever. You can generate a landing page, a logo, almost anything, even a backend structure. But why does everything feel off?
Because AI does not replace taste. It does not replace an understanding of design. It does not replace thinking. It does not replace experience.
Most people today know how to use AI. Very few know how to actually guide it.
If you do not understand design, layout, spacing, typography, hierarchy, AI will not magically fix that for you. You will just get a page with random gradients, too many fonts, oversized buttons, and sections that do not make sense. Technically complete, visually incomplete.
AI gives you an average result based on patterns it has seen before. If you do not have the eye to judge it, you will think it looks good. The same thing happens in engineering.
Someone who does not understand architecture can ask AI to generate code. It will compile. It might even run. But the structure is weak, dependencies are messy, and security and scalability were not considered.
You shipped something fast, but very fragile.
AI accelerates output, but it does not upgrade your level.
If you think clearly, AI makes you faster. If you do not, it will not work for you. The problem is not AI. The problem is when people treat it as a replacement for skill instead of a tool that requires skill.
Good designers use AI as an assistant, same with engineers.
Everyone else just produces AI slop, faster than ever before.
