This looks like slop from a slop factory. "SEO", "Agent-readiness". That's precisely what a good website doesn't do (to paraphrase the homepage).

Oh yes, it's produced by a Wordpress "SEO" expert and private investor using Claude LLM. What a surprise. A man who built a fortune destroying the internet we loved with advertisement slop now working on destroying whatever's left with LLM slop.

The em dashes and word patterns ("it's not X, it's Y") and duplicate contents pretty much prove that this is AI to me.

Flagging "stable URLs" as "agent readiness" indicates to me that whoever wrote this cares more about AI than people. This domain is going on my blacklist, I can already see how this will make looking up any information about web development worse.

From the about page (https://specification.website/about/):

> Not a framework. Not a guide. A spec — what is required, what is recommended, and what to avoid.

It's hard to tell how much of the site is LLM slop, but some of the copy sure is.

I could have clocked this as an LLM generated site from a thousand yards, blindfolded. The gradients, the cards, the punchline-like one liners. So much pomp for essentially a list of best practices for having a website.

Not that it’s a bad idea, I guess? But it’s also like. Somebody else prompted Claude for 20 minutes to think of a list that websites should have, so that now MY Claude doesn’t have to think of it on its own??

Can't speak for the AI readiness stuff, the general webdev stuff is solid. Copy is fluffed up of course but didn't find any glaring errors and omissions.

AI content is not bad. It is just slop, soulless, revolting.

[TZubiri]

It triggers slop flags for me too.

1 - The little color tags : required, optional, recommended.

2 - The insane amount of content no one is ever going to read

3 - the weak premise for an idea carried out to excruciating detail

Its apparently pure ai slop, I use https://tropes.fyi/vetter

I tried this just now on a landing page for an app that I wrote over a decade ago and it told me it was pure AI slop lol

[rafram]

I tried it on my personal website, which I wrote without any AI whatsoever, and it decided it's "pure AI slop" based on "tricolon abuse" alone. I would be less mad if the examples it flagged were actually tricolons, but only a couple of them were! Most were lists with more than three things in them.

The slop detector, alas, is slop.

[tzs]

I tried it on my personal web site, which I don't think I've made any changes to in over 20 years except possibly removing some out of date links and it says it is pure AI slop.

The proof it cited was "Short Punch Fragments". These are:

• In a section where I say who I am I start with "Who am I? I'm Spider-Man!" and then on the next line say "OK, maybe not". Then there is a table showing my identities in various places.

"I'm Spider-Man!" and "OK, maybe not" are the evidence there that it is AI written.

• I've got a quiz on the page. It says someone is caught with all of the following items and asks what they were planning.

   1. A large needle and thread
   2. roll of paper
   3. Three small pebbles
   4. A small bag of fine-grained dust
   5. A small empty waterskin
   6. A pair of scissors
   7. A canteen full of cream
   8. A fur cap
   9. A purse full of counterfeit coins
  10. A raw egg

It cites lines 1, 3, and 8 of that as evidence of AI.

The full spec in single page is like a poster boy for the current AI slop webdev.

What do you mean by this? Making the site friendly to AI agents is one of the goals of this project, so why are you surprised that it follows its own recommended practices? That doesn't mean it's an AI slop project.
