i finished my portfolio with codex. an AI mockup made me want to start over.

A developer, having completed a portfolio, experimented with an AI mockup using "Image 2.5 sunburst in atlas cloud." This AI-generated version presented a layout, particularly the hero section, that the developer found superior to their original, which featured a workflow diagram. The AI's design placed products prominently, making the developer's existing portfolio feel overly explanatory. Now contemplating a significant redesign, the developer is seeking advice on whether to adapt existing components or undertake a complete rebuild based on the AI's inspiration.

Unlike earlier AI tools that merely generated images, "Image 2.5 sunburst in atlas cloud" created a functional layout that directly challenged a developer's completed portfolio design.
