This is the open-source repo behind my recent blog post "Scoring Show HN submissions for AI design patterns"[0] with the goal to quantify the generic sterile feeling of purely AI-generated websites.

The tool systematically scores any website for 16 common AI design patterns by running a Playwright script that checks deterministic CSS/DOM rules.

Here are the results for the ShowHN submissions: https://www.adriankrebs.ch/ai-design-scorer-report.html

This is how you can run it yourself (example is the latest Show HN submission):
