>This is still not in the range of shippable UI for top end companies.
Given the shit we've seen shipped by "top end companies" (all the way to Apple) I seriously doubt that. I'd say you're nitpicking from an artistic point of view or something.
This. Today's models easily jump over the bar you need for basic usability and intuitive UX. If it's doing weird things, you are holding it wrong.
Might need some additional prompting? I haven't tried fable but gpt 5.5 and gemini 3.5 flash are... Ok on first pass but if you're specific about what you want they can usually get it.
it really feels like UX designers came from no where, jerked us all off, stole a bunch of money and did nothing useful.
You likely have no idea what you are talking about. Even apples worst UI choices are systematically far more complex than Claude latest capabilities
Dude, I've been using OS X/mac OS for decades, and working in UI as well. Apple ships all kinds of half arsed shit, compared to which even regular Claude UIs can be masterpieces (functionality AND look wise).
The iOS Preview app begs to differ.
