This is cool, but I'm not so sure this is as "AI generated" as OP is making out.

The layout seems preconfigured and the images seem to come from pexels depending on your keywords. They're not AI generated.

The "team" profiles come from https://xsgames.co/randomusers/ which is seems to randomly provide a subset of 78 prerendered faces instead of generating a new face. Eg, https://xsgames.co/randomusers/assets/avatars/female/1.jpg or https://xsgames.co/randomusers/assets/avatars/female/2.jpg

I'm guessing it's just the placeholder text which is actually AI generated here which while cool isn't quite so impressive as what's being implied by the title.


But, this was done 8 years ago without AI: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9427856


Haha! I was about to say the same thing, better result with no “AI” involved.

One of my first Go projects was rewriting the tiffzhang source as a backend service so that you don’t have to download hundreds of megabytes of random data. I got it almost identical - sometimes the colors are subtly different which is probably a mistake in recoding their color picker routines. Everything is done with random numbers so you have to be careful to do the exact same steps in the exact same order to get the same result.


I still love this line in that source: ` var realStartupsThatAskedToBeRemoved `.......


my go-to when I make example diagrams is silly fake startups.
