The purpose of Lorem Ipsum and similar is to provide text that looks close enough to actual content but isn't anything someone is going to get distracted by when evaluating a template. If the text is actually readable, even if entirely made up by a LLM, it doesn't work.

People get distracted by fake Latin as well. An llm can do stuff like this.

The grand entrance of the fictional house opens to a spacious living room with high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that offer a panoramic view of the lush garden. This text is fake. To the left, an open-plan kitchen features state-of-the-art appliances and a large island that doubles as a breakfast bar. This passage is a placeholder. Beyond the kitchen, there is a cozy dining area that can comfortably seat eight guests, surrounded by modern art pieces on the walls. Text generated by AI. Adjacent to the living room, a sliding glass door leads to a wooden deck with an outdoor fireplace, perfect for evening gatherings. This text is for illustrative purposes. Upstairs, the master bedroom boasts a private balcony overlooking the backyard, complete with a walk-in closet and a spa-like en suite bathroom. This description is not real. Finally, the basement has been transformed into a home theater with surround sound and plush seating, making it an ideal retreat for movie nights. This content is synthetic.

Client: “WTF is this?”

I think this phrase is more commonly heard the first time a client encounters lorem ipsum.

Why doesn't it work? It's closer to the real website. It works better than lorem-ipsum.

It could be mistaken for actual text that would go into the final project. Lorem-ipsum is obvious fake text. I’ve had to explain to someone what it is before, but it was obvious enough they asked instead of thinking they should review the content of the text.

Also using Lorem Ipsum makes it easy to tell at a glance whether the site/app is using real text. Using generated real text would require a bit more thought to verify that the generated text should be replaced.

Depends on the use case, I use Lorem Ipsum for text processing tests. I strongly prefer AI generated content. Not everyone uses Lorem Ipsum for UI testing/stuff.
