The HTML that you initially send down the wire needs to be functional (at least at a basic level) before the JavaScript arrives.
The only place that I’ve really seen generative design thrive is on flight booking websites. But anyone that’s used Google Flights and thought that it’d make a good design interface is out of their fucking mind.
