Design Slop Cop – score how AI-generated a website looks

by hubraumhugo·Jul 2, 2026·2 points·0 comments

Post Description

Design slop is the feeling that tells you a website is purely AI-generated. This is an attempt to classify the patterns behind it.

I also scored the recent ShowHN submissions on https://slopcop.adriankrebs.ch/show, which shows that about half of all submissions show medium to heavy design slop.

This should not trigger a discussion about AI-assisted coding (this project is too), but about visual design traits common with AI-generated frontends.

Design Memory – Extract design systems from live websites via CLI

Playwright-driven crawling + deterministic token extraction plus an LLM for semantic labeling is a clever pipeline — it doesn’t just scrape CSS, it produces an AI-optimized .design-memory folder with tokens, component recipes, and multi-page merge/diff capabilities. Expect variable fidelity on highly dynamic or framework-heavy sites since the approach depends on selector heuristics and an API key, but the CLI commands (learn, install, diff) and docs show this is more than a research sketch.
