Anti UI Slop

Goal

AI-generated interfaces reveal themselves through convergence: familiar fonts, palettes, card anatomies, copy rhythms, spacing, and motion accumulate until the page could belong to any product. A single fashionable choice provides weak evidence. Repeated context-free choices provide strong evidence.

The finished interface should express its product, audience, content, and constraints. Removing a tell counts as progress only when the replacement strengthens that specificity.

Keep two classes of findings separate:

• Quality failures reduce accessibility, readability, robustness, or performance. Confirmed failures receive correction recommendations in reviews and fixes in authorized edit tasks.
• Slop signals reveal convergence. Context, repetition, composition, and product fit determine whether they become actionable findings.
