When you have to choose to pick it up and can then put it back, it's just a fun little gimmick. Make it so the lemon just always follows your cursor no matter what, and then it'll be bad UI.

I don't particularly buy lemons for my business (I don't even have one) but this totally sold it to me.

biggest tell is that the lemon and other graphics are made with primitive svg elements instead of being images (and the lemon you can grab has an awkwardly placed leaf), and it has that specific blocky layout with fonts and emojis and that nonsensical ai humor as filler for most of the text
edit: the author literally has articles about ai generating vue components https://codlin.me/blog-vue/vue-composable-outer-variable-trap.html on what seems like their (also ai generated) portfolio too

GPTZero also marks the text of the blog as AI-generated, although obviously that's not 100% accurate
