The exact default values that make every AI-generated site look the same
michalmalewicz · x · 2026-10-31
Michal Malewicz reveals the typical defaults AI site builders use: 40px button height, 16px button side-padding, 24px card padding, 8px corner radius, 24px grid gap, 96px section spacing.
- Every AI-generated site feels like slop because it lands on the same values.
- Tweaking these defaults already removes much of that sameness — his follow-ups give concrete replacements like 50px buttons and 120px section spacing.
