AI is really bad at design, even Claude. But GPT models are painfully worse. Even when you're iterating, they're more likely to make suboptimal design decisions unless you guide them down to the tiniest detail. Claude (even Opus) will at least get *some* of those tiny details right.

has there been meaningful improvement over the last year, in your opinion?

anthropic launched a dedicated "Claude Design" feature several months ago, but I haven't heard much about it since. did you ever try it, and if so is it any better?

Yes, it's the best we have right now, at least for graphic design (not design in general). But getting a good result still takes a lot of iteration and specific guidance. For example, it generated this atrocious table of contents in one of my sessions:

lol incredible, thanks
