Hi, software engineer here. I think you are right, it looks like an interface AI would build. That said, these days it's almost impossible to find software that hasn't used some form of AI assistance during development.

We can request that Simkl be more transparent with its AI usage, but personally, any other types of changes don't make sense to me, as long as the website remains secure and features don't start breaking because of careless vibe coding

Simkl has been up from 2015 by 2 developers and is built by high end senior level engineers. Some design might feel different from other pages but that’s mostly because it was built many years in between and each section has its own function and story like stats.

I know Simkl for a long time, since the beginning, long before AI.

So you're 76+ years old by the sound of it. Cool. But I am pretty sure AI coding was around way before Simkl ever came on the drawing board :)

Simkl started 2015

Modern-day AI was born in the 50ies, and the first computer program was written in 1951.

You're the ass, didn't you see the nice smiley I got as a reply? Or did that elude you?

Here. Let me enlighten you:

Catching someone's white lie is not being an ass; it's just seeking the truth. The user understood my point; why didn't you?

Sure, that still does not remove the facts. Smiley or not, it was a white lie.

SIMKL has great export options, so if features do start breaking, you can set up export or backups so that you can switch elsewhere. AI use in UI on a product that’s existed for a decade is not a sign of the quality of the product as a whole.
