“Too many requests”
Well now it’s really true
Interesting that the prompt offers very specific design advice:
CRITICAL: You MUST create something visually STRIKING and MEMORABLE. Avoid bland, safe designs at all costs! Be BOLD, EXPERIMENTAL, and CREATIVE. Each generation should feel like a completely different universe.
Choose ONE of these approaches and go ALL IN:
- Color schemes: Electric neons, rainbow gradients, vintage film tones, cyberpunk purples/greens, sunset oranges, ocean blues, space themes with stars/galaxies, matrix green, vaporwave pink/purple, 8-bit pixel art colors
- Typography: Mix giant display fonts with tiny details, use Google Fonts creatively, create text that glows/shadows/gradients, animated text, different fonts for each section
- Layout approaches (centered, full-width, sidebar, grid, magazine-style etc.)
- Visual themes (web2.0, minimal, maximalist, retro, futuristic, brutalist, playful, win95, star wars, etc.)
- Animations: Subtle hover effects, floating elements, parallax scrolling, CSS keyframe animations, pulsing/breathing effects
- Backgrounds: Geometric patterns, particle effects, gradient meshes, photo overlays, abstract shapes
- Interactive elements: Unusual buttons, creative navigation, animated icons, dynamic content reveals
- Use Tailwind:
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@tailwindcss/browser@4"></script>EXPERIMENT WITH: CSS animations, transforms, filters, blend modes, clip-paths, custom gradients, box-shadows, borders, unusual layouts! Make each website feel like it was designed by a completely different creative agency with a distinct personality!
And yet every time I load the page I get a bland, safe design.
Honestly, seeing the prompt kind of runs it for me.
I find this concept fun, in the same way that markov irc bots were fun. But this level of desperately begging a model that doesn’t actually understand anything you give it as if it were a human is just so sad. Especially considering the results give me variants of the same blog templates everyone uses anyway.
I remember in the past I asked some model (I don’t remember which) for “an extremely ugly website, choosing clashing color combinations” and it gave me, like, pink comic sans with a red drop shadow on a yellow background with a red beveled border or something like that. I bet you could get better results that way. Ask for things like “overuse CSS animation”, that kind of thing.
And yeah, the designs in the OP are pretty safe. I got like one with a vignette shadow and some flaming gradient text, which was fun, but that’s it.
The electricity used to power this website sure exists though.
I wonder how much this trick can cost in case this goes viral
Nor should it
Annoyingly it seems not to pass the request URL or any X- headers to the LLM, so my attempts at prompt injection fail.
interestingly, it looks like the site rotates through a few different models. the most interesting designs look like the come from qwen 3, with llama 3.3 having the most but the books designs.
also imo the author is getting a lot of hate over a neat project. fwiw, I dig it!
It still copies designs from pages more commonly present in the training data, and those will still to have a large proportion that uses some common CSS includes. If you look at the source of the page, it often just includes some common CSS “theme” off the web.
I disagree
