A DoS like this is quite bad (in theory at least) but I think it's the first time I've seen one dressed up with a hypeslop landing page.

What gives it away?

  • The style / design in general looks AI. Generate enough sites, reports, etc and you'll recognize it without even being able to articulate why it's AI.

    But imo it's not a bad thing. Most sites looked like shit in the past. The content is usually where I focus my changes when dealing with LLM generated HTML. And if I want it slightly less LLM flavored in terms of design I just pick a random design system to tell it to use. Apple HIG, IBM Carbon, etc.

    Usually just picking your own palette, a design system, and making it remove all the stupid details it decides to add will improve your end result by a lot.

  • Claude at least loves its punchy bullet points.

    Also, I want to expunge the word "shape" from my vocabulary at this point. I think I'm developing a nerve twitch just reading it.

    • It's the uncanny valley for text. Models were previously nicer to talk with because they were incompetent enough to still appear to be machines to our minds.
