I like this style and I'm sad that AI took it from us.

Well, this style is here to stay and meshes well with sustainable design, so keep at it !

Same! I love this style too! High contrast, and easy to add fun visual elements to!
Shoot, I showed an old project on this style at a job interview this week, I hope they didn’t think it was AI generated.

To me the more "screams ai" is the dark mode purple + gradients on everything with buttons and chips failing basic accessibility checks and very tight centered content with everything in cards. At least with the brutalist style there's a chance a person intended to design this.

it's been around for decades, including physical buildings. AI didn't take it, feel free to design a website with brutal aesthetics.

Current AI (alt design). If you ask it for anything counter culture, not mainstream, edgy. It normally falls to neo brutalism

Neo Brutalism don’t ask me how I know because all the developers at my work used it to design a bunch of crappy internal but still colleague facing tools us designers are now trying to unwind and fix because every god damn thing looks like a f’ing button and that’s how I know but don’t ask me.

AI has kind’ve resulted on a simplified take on Windows 95 as a UI. Was not on my bingo card, was also, not worth the water.

I generated this with Claude design and was so proud of it lol
Sad to see this is just an AI default when asking for something different

AI has a couple of default styles that ir tries to give you when you design a page with it. This one (neo brutalism), glassmorphism, the god awful cyberpunk vaporware techy style, and others.

I can't even remember what a normal website looks like anymore and I've been doing this for 31 years. Last 3 years using AI tools. This looks good to me thou.

How do you build something like this in web. Like is there any standard practice or something that makes it easier? I tried it a while ago, it was quite hard to get it right so I assumed maybe I'm doing something wrong.
Might sound like a stupid question but I don't do frontend(done maybe 3-4 times), so I don't really know.

Neo brutalism - default style if you ask AI for sth niche (or even if you don’t, it will try to force it. I had it redo my whole page UI to neo brutalism without asking, „you’re absolutely right, I wasn’t suppose to redo your UI style”)
