Verdict for scratch.mit.edu
HAND-CRAFTED — slop score 6/100
This one's straightforward. The page in question is a Scratch project page, and everything flagged, the purple header, the empty instructions box, the footer with About and Community columns, is just MIT's standard template that every Scratch user gets. The two indigo buttons picked up by the color-palette check are the Join Scratch and Sign In elements baked into the platform chrome, not a design choice anyone made. There's no custom marketing copy, no hero section, no generated layout to evaluate here, so the low score reflects a fixed UI rather than a hand-built site avoiding AI tells. Confidence in the HAND-CRAFTED verdict is high, mainly because there's nothing bespoke on the page to fake in the first place.
Findings
- Indigo/violet accent palette — The blue-purple-violet accent range is the statistical center of mass of AI-generated color schemes.
- Not applicable - standard platform UI — This is a Scratch (MIT's scratch.mit.edu) project page, a fixed platform template used by all Scratch users, not a custom-generated marketing or product site. The layout, purple header, footer link structure, and empty instruction/notes boxes are all standard Scratch UI, not evidence of AI generation.
