Performative-UI is a React library that satirically catalogs AI-generated design clichés. Gradient blobs, bento grids, generic "AI slop." It resonated because practitioners are tired of homogenized agent output. This is the craft angle I care about most. The reason my engineering works is that I evaluate output for taste, not just correctness, and a thousand HN upvotes for a parody library says a lot of builders feel the same fatigue. AI can generate a UI. It can't yet tell that the UI looks like every other AI UI.
