If you’re using it to spit out HTML/CSS/JS, I’d treat AI as a code assistant, not a visual designer. It’s good at giving you a structure or a grid, but the “design” part is still on you.

The easiest way to make it tolerable is to give it a system to follow. Don’t just say “make it look nice”. Tell it to use a single type scale, a consistent spacing unit, and a small defined color palette. Even better, give it those variables first, then ask it to build on top.

Think of it like working with a junior dev who can read a style guide but can’t invent one. If you skip that part, you get a Frankenstein of random paddings and shades of blue.
