As an aside: I lack the vocabulary, but man those interactive "stats" cards scream LLM-written to me. No problem with it, necessarily, just something about that style seems to raise a flag in my mind.

They are certainly LLM-generated. I'm sure it's been done, but I would love to see a comprehensive look into what it is exactly that makes a UI seem LLM-generated.

From what I can tell, the issues are: Fonts are too small, secondary fonts have terrible contrast with their backgrounds, information is too dense/not enough white space, overuse of blinking/glowing status dots, overuse of bordered elements, and overuse of accented elements. I am surely forgetting some other issues.

I'm not sure why there seems to be a consistent set of design mistakes that LLMs tend toward.

The entire houseofsaud.com site appears to be LLM-generated, I wouldn't trust a single thing it says.

They're definitely Claude generated. People at my last company loved to generate pages & stat cards with Claude and they all had this exact same style.

Part of it is the clash with the pages UI. Dark black cards in the middle of a light theme.

The "Conflict Pulse" status dot is really the shit cherry on top.
