This is actually really needed, current ai design tools are so predictable and formulaic, like every output feels like the same purple gradients with rounded corners and that one specific sans serif font that every model seems obsessed with, it's gotten to the point where you can spot ai-generated designs from a mile away because they all have this weird sterile aesthetic that screams "made by a model"

Exactly - we think the ai design tools are in the equivalent of the 'uncanny valley' territory that a lot of the diffusion models were stuck in just 1-2 months ago; most average diffusion models are still in this local optimum, but the best of the best seem to have escaped it.

I don't think this works right now tbh.

It has the same problem as LMArena (which already had webarena): better aesthetics are so far out of distribution you can't even train on the feedback you get here.

You just get a new form of turbo-slop as some hidden preference takes over. With text output that ended up being extensive markdown and emojis. Here that might be people accidentally associating frosted surfaces with relatively better aesthetics, for example.

The problem is so bad LMArena maintains a seperate ranking where they strip away styling entirely
