It's actively unhelpful even for the most "non-technical" of users to further anthropomorphize LLMs and "agentic" workflows that boil down to moving plaintext around

The design is cute but this is an abstraction that simply has no reason to exist, and is the opposite of what better UX looks

Keeping aside the functionality of the app, the vibe of the web page and those mascots is NOT IT. They are unsettling and creepy

I think that's the point, no? The page is light on text but appears to be some kind of weird art project making fun of the inane "helpful and friendly" personas given to LLM chatbots

Fittingly for an AI page, the "Easter egg" page lags my phone significantly.

I know my office computer isn't very powerful, but holy lag batman! I get between 1 and 10 FPS on that website.

This website is not very user friendly. Huge amount of assets to load, an unclear product, and a visually distracting experience.

Coming off of a full 24 hour incident response and clicking this has me wondering about my choices.

Wtf is this shit? The page nuked my browser, then I got a jump scare from the weird sounds. What's wrong with them?
