Why does AI suck at front-end? 🗑️ trained on garbage 👀 it can't see ❓ it doesn't know why 🏞️ no environmental control there's no human v20.2.1 to target. we're a LLM combinatorial explosion ⤷ nerdy.dev/why-ai-sucks...
The left panel is titled AI - MASTER OF ENGINE & CREATION and features a sophisticated, human-like android robot with detailed internal circuits and a glowing brain. Floating text around the robot says - REWRITING GAME ENGINES with a small video screen, GENERATING REALISTIC VIDEO/IMAGES with code on a screen, and CONFIDENCE - 100%. The right panel is titled AI - FRONT-END CSS FAIL and shows a cluttered desk with a distressed small robot next to a frustrated human man pointing aggressively at a computer screen. The computer displays a chaotic webpage full of broken layout elements and a giant black void called a gaping hole. The small robot has a speech bubble that says - I'M DONE! THE FEATURE IS COMPLETE. Floating text phrases on the right side are - BESPOKE INTERACTION NIGHTMARE, CSS IS HARD, YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, CAN'T RENDER, LLM CAN'T MATH. The human has a mug with </> and nerdy.dev written on it.

here was a variant i was toying with, you can see the lines there for contrast as well as all the gamut boundary lines. was a bit much…

I had them on there for a little bit! But removed them in favor of the values and info at the bottom right (new), since the lines felt like clutter and only represented one But maybe!? Make a case about something I missed?
