Don’t one shot landing pages with AI

I tried it with Codex for my budgeting page and shipped slop I now have to fix.

As you can see, the first draft looked like a credit card scam site:

Don’t tell the AI:

“Create a modern hero section with great copy that sells and nice animations.” That’s how you get slop.

What I did instead:

> Go to Drizzle

> Find a design I like (example "Hero section")

> Screenshot it

> Paste the image into the AI

> Say: recreate this exact design (Hero section) in my branding

That’s it.

AI is bad at inventing good design from memory.

It’s very good at copying.

So give it exactly what you want built.

Don’t let it guess. Don’t let it “be creative.”

Otherwise it will always be the same: Slop.
