Websites that spit out “logos” are a dime a dozen. What all of them fail to understand is that a logo is not just an icon that you aesthetically like, it’s a communication tool. A logo is not for the CEO, it’s for the customers. These tools do a huge disservice to the businesses who pay for them by selling a bland generic icon which means nothing and has no personality. But then again, I no longer have the strength or will to fight against the poor design decisions of others. I’m glad I left that world.

Now it’s the era of the AI grift, where every low effort startup which can be made with AI will be made with AI. As long as there’s fast money to be made at the end, everything else is pushed aside. I remember when the norm was “I made this cool thing and had interesting challenges along the way”. Now it’s “I don’t really understand how I made this, but it made me money”.
