What about AI-generated UI connected to AB testing based on constraints like time-to-complete actions, user page churn, or accessibility scoring?

That would kinda be neat but also a little dystopian. I already hate being subject to A-B tests and poorly-designed UI enough as it is.

AB testing doesn't show many very different variants, but a few (usually 2) which are only slight variations of one another.

So the AI would still need very narrow guidelines (aka. an existing design) to build the interfaces for testing, it couldn't try a lot of variations, and the process would be slow, as each new set of iterations has to be presented to testers/users and evaluated, before the next small batch can be prepared.
