one of the things slop has ruined is: I used to go through popular apps to see what ui patterns they use to design widgets/api around that

now it's a lot more difficult - the very premise of this research assumes that there's intent behind what apps are doing, and that only really works if the app was made by people

now that any new app may be slop coded, and consequently what patterns it uses may have been decided by the gods of RNG and has no intent whatsoever, so I'd have to check every app to make sure it's not slop
