Verdict for strava.com
INCONCLUSIVE — slop score 27/100
The evidence here is thin, and a score of 27 reflects that. The feature-tile grid on the homepage, with its four identical cards under an "Essential" header and the three-card "Track & Analyze" row, matches a layout pattern common in template-driven sites, but that style predates AI tooling by a decade and shows up on plenty of hand-built product pages too. The gradient background strip is similarly low-stakes, a single 851 by 57 pixel wash that barely registers as a design choice either way. The stronger findings sit in the legal pages: both the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy contain em dashes and phrasing that trip the same detectors as generated prose, including that arbitration clause with its dash-heavy carve-out for EU residents. Legal boilerplate gets recycled and lightly edited across companies constantly, so this reads more like inherited template language than evidence the whole site was AI-authored, and without stronger marketing-copy tells to back it up, the case stays open rather than closed.
Findings
- Feature-tile grid — Equal-width card grids of 3–4 identical tiles (icon, subheader, blurb) are the signature layout block of generated landing pages.
- Gradient backgrounds / gradient text — Large gradient washes and gradient-clipped headline text (usually blue→purple) are the default decoration of generated UI.
- Terms of Service reads as generated — The Terms of Service carries multiple AI-writing tells (em dashes, ai vocabulary). Generated legal pages are a strong marker of an unreviewed, vibe-coded ship.
- Privacy Policy reads as generated — The Privacy Policy carries multiple AI-writing tells (em dashes, ai vocabulary). Generated legal pages are a strong marker of an unreviewed, vibe-coded ship.
