Side note, likely also side topic, actually going off on a tangent:

Cheap generation of user interfaces has existed for quite a while.
Mostly seen in ERP systems where every view looks like every other view.

These interfaces made one feel like being alone in a huge abandoned office building.
But at least the generation was reliable, because it was boring.

I wonder if AI-driven approaches to user interface generation might be even worse:
They likely give up consistency in favor of style, truthfulness in favor of pleasing the requirements engineer.

Basically everything that UI designers have been accused of (mostly by customers with no UX experience):
"You just select a few fonts and colors, how hard can it be?"
