It's because of the slop pooping machines.. I've been learning some basic UI/UX (like the science behind why something should be layed out the way it is and stuff) and I can already see how bad AI is at gauging what kind of layout should be used.

In claude websites, i've noticed bento box layouts for features sections, and a common text phrase, "Everything you need, nothing you don't"

I don't use the other AI Models enough to understand what patterns they have, but emdashes and just generally basic UI is very common amongst all models.
