AI consistently places animated objects behind a blur object which causes the browser to constantly repaint. Google's ai mode introduced one, some other websites clearly vibe codes included them too.

At first it confused me why my GPU usage spiked and fans started blowing harder, but now I see it is a common mistake that AI makes but no one tests properly. It is possible a human can make this mistake but I sheldom experienced this ever in my life until now.

I run 240hz monitors, and that meant the browser was trying to do 240 repaints per second. Blocking it with unlock origin is the only way. Ridiculous
