I'm Guessing he downloaded it from chatgpt, hence the location
That's a given, but now he has an entire website in his download dir. So all the scripts, images, child pages, directories, etc. are all over the folder's contents.
If he tried to publish, he would have to find every single dependancy and upload them, which would then require somebody competent to figure out what he missed.
What I am saying is web devs are safe from AI taking their job, for now.
What makes you think this index.html is more than a single Hello World?
Anybody that cocky and stupid would never present a simple test of concept as evidence.
They 100% asked AI to make an E commerce or company page.
You are asking a lot from the cocky and stupid
I have reasonable expectations based on the hubris of people ignorant of both AI and what they use it on.
Yeah, you know you can put CSS inline / in the header, and images can be base64 encoded and put in line as well.
Same with JavaScript. It's probably a whole single page website with no ability to cache anything and can never be bigger than the context window
As a web dev I'm not worried, but chatgpt has been useful figuring out some Godot/C# oddities that come with learning a new language. I worry for the new people who will just use what it says and not learn anything.
Even then, it will spit out methods and signatures from different but similar libraries (litedb and sqlite for instance)
But like @[email protected] said, I was expecting it to be a single page, probably rammed with unnecessary JavaScript.
It's interesting because it lets regular people with little to no training produce software.
It isn't great software, it doesn't always work... but considering the amount of software that an untrained person could produce previously was exactly none, it's a pretty interesting development in technology.
and, it's only going to get better.
AI is a great tool, but that's all it is. It's absolutely not a complete solution.
Its good for stuff that is vague or hard to google.
It's .html, I am not expecting many dependencies.
itt: people genuinely think this joke is real
I dunno bro, I can really see how the chicken could be enticed to cross the road by virtue of his chicken instincts. I'm something of a biologist myself
