    That rings so true!

    I'm vibe-coding an app to practice german, I want the most bare-bones possible, just something for myself. In the sign-in page, the clanker added SEVEN slogans and catch-phrases:

    - A more human way to learn - Find your words. Then make them yours. - Good conversations make a language stick. Start where you are, and build from there. - One conversation at a time - Thoughtful practice. Your pace. Your progress. - YOUR LANGUAGE SPACE - A quiet space to learn, made just for you. - Sign in to pick up where you left off.

      loool, i had a clanker slop out a page just for me to preview UI components and it did this thing too. "React, without the nonsense", "your UI, simple, uncluttered", etc. like bro just put the components on the page. i tell it "no catchphrases and no extra copy" and it adds "just your UI, no copy" like come onnnn

        Unrelated but, "clanker" is a great word
