Am I the only one who is getting tired of all these LLM generated landing pages with their hallmark indigo backgrounds/gradients, unnecessary and tasteless transitions, and meaningless marketing sell points?

I'm not sure what LLM has to do with it. A zillion boilerplate landing pages exist out there regardless and a lot of them look/behave just like that. Copying is copying.

  Yeah. "LLM" and "Wordpress" is the same.

Yeah definitely feels vibe coded. I am so sick of the overuse of icons.

Plus the endless emojis and the cards with images completely missing from the bottom section where you're supposed to "see it in action." It shows a lack of respect for yourself and your potential readers when you build something like this.

It might be boring but it's easily understandable - I know where to click, where to look etc. It's kind of a minimalism; it's not pleasing (to me) but it works

  I'd argue it's actually the exact opposite of minimalism. Just an abundance of colours, emojis, and marketing jargon. It shows a lack of taste.

Yes, I had to do a double take to realize this wasn't from anthropic.

Of course you're not the only one, but: "Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage.

I thought the same thing when I saw this! Great tool but clearly generated by LLM (Claude code?). It’s interesting that it’s so obvious. I wonder if human taste will evolve to dislike styles that are LLM generated.
