How could an article on the AI aesthetic not mention the curiously anatomical company logos?

On a more serious note, I like the tiny icon trend as depicted in the article. Those little icons next to menu text are pretty ornamental, and don't need to be as big as they usually are.

The issue with the icons is not the diameter but their stroke thickness — it should be the same as the letters.

Oh, huh. I was focused on the scale but you’re right, they are kind of wispy. That reminds me of the anorexic typography trend from ~2013. It’s probably intended to convey sophistication.

The nice thing about web and electron apps is you generally get zoom for free. I like the icons as they just kind of work better for my brain.

I really hope AI is going to help turn the tide from this “everything runs a copy of chrome” architecture. It’s never been cheaper to build fast native UIs than right now, but everyone is still shipping web apps wrapped in chromium.
