What’s the fastest way to tell a website was designed by AI?

I’ll go first:
The homepage says:
“Reimagine. Innovate. Transform.”
Transform WHAT, Kevin?
Then you scroll and find:
• 11 rounded cards
• a purple-to-blue gradient
• a glassmorphism dashboard nobody asked for
• “Trusted by 10,000+ teams” with zero recognizable companies
• an FAQ answering questions no human has ever asked
• a smiling stock-photo woman named Sarah who apparently uses every SaaS product on Earth
• one glowing orb floating in the background like it pays rent
And somewhere near the bottom:
“Ready to unlock your potential?”
No. I was trying to find your pricing.
AI can build incredible websites now, but it definitely has a design accent.
What’s the dead giveaway that makes you think:
“Yep. The robot cooked this one.”
