Copied the number of items from a reference, not the reason for it

Any kind of task

Situation
Building a list screen modeled on a reference screen that showed about 30 items.
What the AI did
To match the reference's density, it added items until there were about 30. Most of the added items did nothing when clicked; for the people using the screen, they were just decoration.
How to ask next time (the operator's example)
"The number in the reference is not the target. Tell me what that number is for, then build it. Read the rules and similar work we already have first."
One question to ask
For each number copied from the reference, what is that number for?
Check it yourself
After it is built, click every item once and ask for a list of the ones that do nothing. Each item should either do something or be removed.
