With vibe-coding, more and more websites I am visiting are changing my mouse pointer

That's a dangerous level of lazy.

Are there ways to detect them automatically? Those vibe-sites that don't change your pointer i mean. Because sharing any data with them (e-mail, credit card info) is a personal security risk.

Probably gonna be tough. Airbnb.com has stated that 60% of their code is being generated with AI. Probably tons of other sites don't publicly talk about it.
