It's actively unhelpful even for the most "non-technical" of users to further anthropomorphize LLMs and "agentic" workflows that boil down to moving plaintext around

The design is cute but this is an abstraction that simply has no reason to exist, and is the opposite of what better UX looks

Finally Homer's Web Page [1] is a real thing!

I actually like the design. It's the product of a human and it's fun. It also feels like it's playing with jokes about brain-rot aesthetic so communicates a contemporary and young point of view. It's cool.

The thing it's selling doesn't appeal to me in the slightest but they have tried and have some human ideas in the webdesign. Cool design if cringe product

This website is not very user friendly. Huge amount of assets to load, an unclear product, and a visually distracting experience.

I know my office computer isn't very powerful, but holy lag batman! I get between 1 and 10 FPS on that website.

Fittingly for an AI page, the "Easter egg" page lags my phone significantly.

Wtf is this shit? The page nuked my browser, then I got a jump scare from the weird sounds. What's wrong with them?

Keeping aside the functionality of the app, the vibe of the web page and those mascots is NOT IT. They are unsettling and creepy

Coming off of a full 24 hour incident response and clicking this has me wondering about my choices.

Branding is crazy good

Not to be confused with Berd spokes/wheels.
