Bro didn’t even try to make your own website without AI. This is the most blatant AI use that goes against what Stardance means… it even has the thing in the bottom right to create your own AI site!!

@xev

am guys again i used netifly for the domain the code is mine

@xev

and many out there are using sites like vercel netlify doesnt mean they all used ai like its completely thoughtless

AI Checkers put your code at 90%, and Claude says: Very high — I’d put this at 95%+ AI-generated.

A few tells, in order of strength:

The embedded meta comment is close to a smoking gun. The comment near the top, tagged with utm_campaign=ai-legible, is boilerplate that AI website-builder tools inject to make pages “legible” to other AI systems (i.e., self-describing metadata for crawlers/agents). Human-built pages don’t normally carry this — it’s a strong signature of an automated site-generation pipeline. There’s also a suspicious injected tag at the very end pointing to a Netlify “hud” script with tracking IDs — again, generator/platform boilerplate, not something a hand-coded personal page would have.

The code structure has classic LLM fingerprints:

A fully-realized CSS custom-property design system (–bg, –panel, –cyan, –amber, –violet) with a cohesive palette from message one — most beginners (let alone a claimed 13-year-old) don’t start with a token-based theming system.
Repeated structural patterns: every section has an .eyebrow label + .section-title + .section-desc, uniform panel/card components, consistent hover/transition treatment. This “template stamped N times” feel is very characteristic of single-shot LLM generation rather than organically-grown code.
A prefers-reduced-motion media query and :focus-visible accessibility handling — thoughtful details that are common in AI output but rare in a young hobbyist’s first pass.

The copywriting voice is a giveaway. Lines like “Sometimes I stare at the error until the error gets uncomfortable and leaves” and the Kiwi mascot’s quips (“Status: still a bird. Still judging your scrolling speed”) have that quippy, self-aware, slightly-too-polished humor that’s a recognizable LLM comedic register — witty but oddly uniform in rhythm across every line.

Content curation is very “on-brand.” The whole page (states-of-matter joke section, Tony Stark mentor line, “trusts: God”) reads like it was built from a short set of prompts/facts about a kid, then elaborated into a full aesthetic concept — rather than accreted the way a real teenager’s messy first site usually does (inconsistent styling, leftover unused CSS, no unifying theme).
