This page was conceived by and implemented by an AI.

There's not a way to give evidence for this kind of stuff but that's feeling it gave me too. I suspect a lot of superfluous stuff implemented in recent software is implemented by an agent. I haven't formed a concrete opinion on how I feel about it though.

And what even is superfluous when an Apple FE eng (or product person) prompts, "make me a web browser iPod"

Do you have any particular evidence to support this claim?

The code comments are pretty clear tells

They're all in regards to design choices or why something is needed when it's not obvious. And such a level of polish in the interface isn't something you attain through prompting. Not AI.

I don't really know what to tell you but the comments are definitely Claude. The result is pretty good but AI was definitely involved in the creation of this.

Implemented, sure. Conceived of? Probably a human was involved somewhere

source?

They probably did use AI to assist but there’s a lot of detail and nuance with it that AI is just awful at.

The progress bar are vectors and not pixelated like they should be. A pretty obvious detail they should not have missed, but I understand how that could be harder to implement.

This is becoming such a lazy and predictable retort. Do you have any other quibbles that might of substance?

Who the fuck cares.
