why are there so many krillions. which one was the original lol

I think this sums up how I actually feel about the particular websites involved here

I was never going to finish that project and now I don't need to to see an approximation of what it might look like.

Like anyhumanever.com is an example of a site that was unmistakably vibe coded. It's also very similar to a project idea I had a few years ago that I never got around to finishing, mainly because getting accurate data of historical population distributions across different regions is difficult

anyway this does tie back in to the vibe design thread I was on about earlier because I do remember seeing a few other sites with that similar red/cyan 3D filter effect that I think is particular to fable, but I have no evidence of that on hand at the moment and it doesn't matter either way

Anyway, a project I've been on and off typing up over the past couple months is a big list of all the basic web design elements that in my opinion give away a website as having not been designed by a human. I've enumerated these as "The 5 Tells of Vibe Design":

Another trend I forgot to mention: They almost always say they "build" the website. They didn't code it, design it, create it, or make it, it's always "built".

hormuzstraitmonitor.com/ is an example I've come across in the wild. This is a horribly designed website for a lot of reasons, but it's come to be the top search result for "hormuz strait status" when I look that up. It attributes its creation to "an individual developer". Nothing else to learn.

Tell #5 is the relationship between the creator of the website and the website itself. How much do they really care about it? The fact that AI speeds up development time means that people can now make stuff that looks like it has a lot of depth on the surface but which nobody really cares about.

A lot of the weirdness of the priorities in this case could just as easily be explained by it being a scam than it being Vibe Designed, but in the places where effort would be spent, the fact that the planning process wasn't slowed down to match the speed of the creation process shows.

For now, consider the twitter.now page. If you were actually trying to reboot something like Twitter, your first priority would probably be to actually host a mastodon or atproto instance and get an interested userbase, while starting work on the features that you want to make your version distinct.

But instead it just gets repeated with different wording, losing some of the original intent, because it's not really designing a website, it's converting one document format to another in a lossy way.

As far as I can tell, this about page was made by pointing an AI agent at this two page pdf ct-citizens-assembly.org/media/CT-Cit... and asking it to make a webpage advertising the plan. Note for instance this line about reaching 10% of CT's population with AI:

Tell #4 is the priorities of design: What was included in this website, in what order was it added, and how much thought was put into each part? These are questions that have somewhat intuitive answers for human designed things, but AI agents show a very different stratigraphy in their design.

Also typical is these light indicators, with a colored circle on the left of some text within an oblong shape:

It's also common with AI generated text to have a ton of emojis and small caps eyebrow sections and headers.

Tell #2 is text, by which I mean both the content of the text (which has a very recognizable voice at this point) and the way it's formatted, including fonts. Below is a list of the fonts I've found to be most common in a sample of 2120 likely Vibe Designed websites:

This isn't because they're using popular style libraries, and the colors used rarely match any others I see used to the exact hex value, it's just a common tendency for them to use blues and purples.

Regardless, I think anyone who is trying to use AI as a tool in making websites needs to make sure it doesn't come across like this because to the trained eye it looks very cheap and careless. And yeah, a lot of these websites (though not all!) are veritably low effort slop.

This isn't about Vibe Coding, to be clear, if a human designs a website and draws out a plan and layout and uses an LLM agent as a tool to turn that design into a functional website, then it will avoid the pitfalls I'm referring to here. Thus why I call this "Vibe Design".

twitter is back and it's vibe designed slop twitter.now

the main indication is of course the fact that it's a grift asking for ≥$20 with AI generated copy and AI generated icons, but there is a lot about the CSS styling and structure of the site that also gives it away to me
