The Fancier It Is, the Easier It Derails
Flashy drag-and-drop, complex animations, all kinds of linked pop-ups—they look fancy, but every extra trick adds one more place that can go wrong. The more details the AI has to juggle at once, the higher the chance it gets it crooked.
This is the complexity cost: the more complex the interface, the more a change pulls the whole thing, and the AI may accidentally break spot B while editing spot A.
Good Enough Is Fine: Save the Fancy for Last
The trade-off principle: make the function solid first, then think about looks. A plain page where every button works beats a flashy one that crashes wherever you click.
Add complex effects at the very end, one at a time, and verify right after each. That way, even if it derails, you know the one you just added is the culprit.
Let the AI 'See' the Interface Itself
By default the AI can't see what the web page on your screen looks like. Just describing in words "this is crooked, that's too cramped" makes it hard for it to fix precisely.
Going further, provided the AI is hooked up to browser automation and can see images (multimodal), you can have it open the page, click buttons, and take screenshots to check results itself—inspecting the interface "with its own eyes" like a user, and fixing what it finds. Note this requires extra tools/capabilities; not every AI can do it out of the box.

The fancier the interface, the more places can go wrong, and changing one spot easily breaks another—this is called the interface's "______ cost."
答案:complexity
Complexity cost: the fancier the interface, the more details the AI must juggle, and the higher the chance of errors and pulling the whole thing.
Judge: the more flashy animations and complex interactions you add to a page, the less likely the AI is to make errors, generally.
答案:Incorrect
Quite the opposite. The more tricks, the more places can go wrong—that's the complexity cost: fancier means easier to derail.
Between "solid but plain function" and "flashy but crashes everywhere," what's the safer approach?
答案:Make the function solid and usable first, save the fancy stuff for last and add it bit by bit
Solid function is the base, fancy is the bonus. Solid first, pretty later, and add effects one at a time last—this minimizes the risk of derailing.
A layout on the page is crooked and you want the AI to fix it accurately—what's usually the most effort-saving, effective approach?
答案:Send it a screenshot of the interface so it sees the problem directly
By default the AI can't see your screen. A screenshot lets it see the actual effect directly—far more precise than pure text description.
Judge: you can use automation to have the AI open the page, click buttons, and take screenshots to check the results, inspecting the interface like a user.
答案:Correct
Yes—provided the AI is set up with browser automation + image-viewing ability. With these, it can operate and screenshot-check itself, saving lots of back-and-forth description. Not every AI can do this by default.
When you want to add a flashy animation to a page, what's the sounder judgment?
答案:First ask whether the user really needs it or you just want to show off; cut it if unnecessary, and if adding, save it for last and add it separately
Unnecessary fanciness only adds complexity cost. First check if it's truly needed, and even when needed, add it last on its own and verify right after.
