Oh, I 100% acknowledge the site itself was LLM generated. I'm not a web designer, so I needed a lot of help making a visually appealing site, even if that design language is at this point LLM trope.
However, the essay and the guidelines were all human-written!
by "human-written" do you mean you just used LLM to help the grammar and spelling and formatting and to think up some use cases but its entirely "my own words"?
Hits you in the first row of buttons with the classic gen-AI slop "Why It Matters".
So trace* through ninerealmlabs and ahgraber and sure enough:
I used AI:
- to help build this website.
- to help generate examples of sloppypasta
based on my original guidance
- to proofread and review the human-written
copy to provide a critical review
- to improve my arguments and ensure clarity.
Kudos for being forthright.

* Turns out clicking "Open Source" bottom right gets there faster!
I talked myself in circles on that "why it matters" heading but ultimately couldn't come up with a better one. "The problem" has similar ai-slop feel, and "the rant" // "the rules" didn't really evoke the feeling I wanted.
It's not difficult to create a visually appealing website. You don't have to be a designer. Many of us here aren't designers and have beautiful sites. Have you tried doing it yourself?

I believe you, but the AI-looking website makes me default to thinking that the text itself is AI generated

Happy to take suggestions on this!

Credit to you for your candor!
I'm possibly too jaded / cynical already...

This entire post is very avant garde. AI slop about how it's rude to share AI slop posted on an AI slopsite. Very well done.
As an alternative to LLMs, you can just download ready made themes off the internet, or there's a bajillion site creators with premade themes.

I think Claude Code's frontend design is quite a fan of serif fonts from what I've seen in the past.
They did disclose AI usage which is good: https://github.com/ahgraber/stopsloppypasta?tab=readme-ov-fi...
