Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Among survey respondents, perceived human control, satisfaction, and perceived quality show no detectable association with embedding-based cohort atypicality. → Léonard Boussioux* 2026

q2 · i? · associational · r1
Perception-layer analysis joining post-task surveys from 58 of 73 builders (agency item n = 57) to artifact-layer originality scores. The article reports no detectable association between felt authorship, satisfaction, or perceived quality and embedding-based cohort atypicality, despite the rubric explicitly rewarding original design; equivalence was not tested.
"Among survey respondents, perceived human control, satisfaction, and perceived quality show no detectable association with embedding-based cohort atypicality."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Vibe-coded websites built for 73 distinct businesses converge into roughly a dozen recurring visual designs despite an explicit originality incentive — related
- Chat-driven vibe-coding builders converge on a single generate-and-check script whose dominant time cost is dead waiting for the tool — related
- Students' self-reported perception of peer assessment's benefit is virtually uncorrelated with their actual measured benefit — related
- Illusory correlations, like the belief that a full moon affects behavior, persist through confirmation bias despite having no basis in evidence — a broader claim this one bears on
- Business sector only weakly explains which visual archetype a vibe-coded site receives, and sector is not significantly associated with per-site originality — related
- Originality is almost never invoked in builders' spoken acceptance verdicts, and defects as well as defaults exit the loop by acceptance without verification — related
