Using genAI also destroys your aesthetic sense. You stop being able to notice that you're looking at dogshit. 211413

Esteban @esteban.bsky.social · 13/09/2026IMHO, there's notable quality + tone difference between a AI gen project that does a bunch of things and has a "hacker" aesthetic UI, and a project where someone used LLM as a tool to improve their understanding and build something for exploration and learning. 100
