Can you quantify what it is you don’t like? Like, to my eyes ‘original’ is fine - and it’s very similar to ‘QT’ expect with rounded corners and brighter colours.

I find it such a hard thing to quantify, I know it's not helpful but you can just feel the slop seep through.

I'm not sure if it's because I've iterated through so many sites that LLMs have produced that "slop" is instantly recognisable and it just feels soulless.

Not like web pages ever had a soul, but it's not there on the generic LLM generated sites.

Imagine you get this original version from a frontend guy pre AI , would you still see slop seep through ?
I’d probably think it looked alright.

I think it’s the fact that my eyes have been blasted with a certain visual ‘vibe’, and I’ve come to associate it with apps that are, on average, a bit lazy

I'd probably just accept that I'd hired them through fiverr.
