    Cursor Head of Design Roasts Startup Websites

    Ryo Lu, Aaron Epstein

    Ryo Liu, Head of Design at Cursor, critiques eight AI-generated websites to reveal a widespread pattern of "vibe-coded" homogeneity where default styling and vague messaging obscure core value propositions. The review highlights specific failures across diverse startups, such as broken interactions, inconsistent design tokens, and confusing user flows that prioritize aesthetic trends over functional clarity. Ultimately, the analysis argues that successful AI-built products must move beyond generic templates by establishing unique brand identities, utilizing literal language, and maintaining rigorous consistency to build user trust.
