There s a growing tendency to flag AI-generated text. There s even a term for low-quality AI-generated content - AI slop.

And honestly, I understand why.

Communication should feel real. If every comment, post, or message is generated by AI, the picture becomes blurry.

But then I have a question.

@OpenAI is winding down its contract with @Cursor, following Cursor's acquisition by SpaceX.

The two companies have worked together for nearly four years. But OpenAI's contract with Cursor included a clause allowing cancellation after a change of ownership, and they're using it. They have all the right to do so.

For solo makers, wearing every hat is almost unavoidable - developer, marketer, support, product and often designer too.

AI makes this even easier now. You can generate UI pretty quickly, but a lot of products end up relying on consistent, polished AI-generated solutions rather than something truly unique or thoughtfully designed for their specific product.

So I m curious:

Do you design the UI/UX yourself when building solo?
