Models Are Trained to Be Reliable — Which Means Boring, and Everyone Gets the Same Output
dbreunig · x · 2026-09-11
dbreunig argues models are trained for reliability, and another word for reliable is boring. Ask a model to mock a CRM SaaS front page and it produces nearly identical results every time; adding business details or random text barely changes the output, making it indistinguishable from pre-AI Squarespace templates. His takeaway: your job is to fight the model to create unique work — if you don't, someone else is generating the same output with the same model.
