So one man's design slop is another man's 'thank goodness we've got some kind of reasonable standard which makes the web kind of nice looking.'

In the same way that not everyone can speak English, not everyone has the design chops to make something which looks and works decently. At least AI gives those folk a chance at making a useable web presence?

I remember altavista, geocities and 100 other horrible sites which we had to use every day through gritted teeth (also not forgetting gruesome early versions of eBay, Amazon and the rest). It's nice to get some decent typography and white spacing.
