Them: Hello Joshua! Saw you're also doing websites and I wanted to share a tool that I think you will definitely find useful.  You can just upload a screenshot of a website you’re working on or type a prompt, and DesignVerse AI instantly creates a beautiful, working website or prototype for you. Here’s a free link for you to try: https://get.designverse.app/home Could you try it out and let me know what you think? Me: No thank you Them: Hey Joshua, try once and use the first 5 free prompts. It will take a maximum of 2-3 minutes. I’d really value your feedback. Me: I don't want AI to create websites or prototypes for me, I do that work with intentionality and craftsmanship — AI requires training and therefore stealing from the work of past designers, and beyond that immorality represents laziness and the deprecation of the humanity that I believe sets the work of a designer apart from the ever growing mound of sludge. I want to intimately know what I build, to have my hands on the materials and to put it together myself so that I know how it's constructed and can sufficiently manage its growth. That's my feedback.
