It's immediately obvious to me that the illustrations are AI slop
You should invest 20 bucks into getting some pictures of a guy in a datacenter, or 200 to pay some dude on Fiverr to draw you some sinks, instead of having these be the first thing customers see when checking out your product
- MobileVet 1y ago> It's immediately obvious to me that the illustrations are AI slop I don't believe this qualifies as AI Slop. They are all consistent in their style and thus 'on brand' for what they are trying to convey. While visuals are fairly subjective and these may not speak to you, they don't have 'obvious slop characteristics' eg 6 fingers or 3 eyes imho.
- sebstefan 1y agoIf you can tell immediately that an illustration is AI-made, for me it already qualifies as slop. It gives low quality, lack of effort, "Is this website legit or is this some guy running a scam from their bedroom in Malaysia" type vibe
- bwb 1y agowow I didn't see it that way at all, they looked good to me.
- wahnfrieden 1y agoThey are very obviously "AI generated genre" which many still don't pick up on. Whether art that is obviously AI-generated is appealing or effective - that may also be the case
- bwb 1y agoshrug, i don't mind, looks good
- theshrike79 1y agoStill a tiny bit better than the "massive limbs bendy people" corporate style.
- sebstefan 1y agoIt's called Corporate Memphis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_Memphis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_Memphis) Might be soulless and ugly too, but at least it doesn't make your customer think "Hold on is this a scam?"
- MajorLettuce 1y agoIt’s actually quite interesting how both styles can be considered slop, but Corporate Memphis evokes different association. It makes me think that style did something right.
- vimy 1y agoI’m not sure seeing AI art and thinking scam is a thing. Most people can’t even spot AI art. His website seems fine to me.
- stevoski 1y agoI'd wager that paying customers really don't care whether the images look AI-generated or not. They care much more about whether this product solves a problem they have. This is based on my 17 years of running first a successful B2C product then a successful B2B SaaS. Minor changes to one's home page tend to have little observable change in numbers of trial signups, the rate of conversion to paid customer, and so on.
- drysart 1y ago> I'd wager that paying customers really don't care whether the images look AI-generated or not. Maybe, but in a conversation about acquiring your first hundred users; you don't have a lot of word-of-mouth backing up the quality of your product. Your ability to effectively present your product will never be more important. If it's important enough that your brochure website has images on it at all, then it's also important enough for them to not look like something you'd see slapped on a scam.
- conductr 1y agoI also think those images are not super aesthetically pleasing but I also don’t care about the sink metaphor they’re using so I instantly ignore them and just focus on the text
- delfinom 1y agoAre you upset by the kitchen sink metaphor? lmao
