My direct experience is that, using chatgpt, making basic html DOM elements is simple, but coding behaviours in a reliable manner isn't as simple. And css shouldn't even need AI to be coded effectively. Javascript is the part where the ineffciency and the weird behaviour of a website are. I bet there are professional web design tools that use ai, but using genAI for that is...uh

This goes back some years, back when the ping of death was still a thing. I used to hang out in IRC channels and someone decided they needed to show me what a real hacker could do. The dork asked for my IP which was hilarious to begin with, so I replied “127.0.0.1”. About 2 seconds later I see them disconnect from IRC.
A minute goes by and they are back online, spitting mad. Tells me i’m lucky their computer crashed but I’d better get ready…and disconnected again.
Back again and folks are dying laughing thanks to my 1337 teenage hacker skills but eventually someone spills that 127.0.0.1 is localhost. Instantly I’m talking to zero cool again and was too scared to give out my actual address. Being a hardened nerd, this time I complied.
I was on slackware and had already figured out their game from the get go; oh and I actually knew how to find an IP. So right in the middle of this future titan of industry’s insults and threats…they disconnect one last time. 😎
IRC exposed users ips, so not only did they not understand their low orbit ion cannon firing at localhost was self inflicted, but they didn't actually need to ask for your ip at all.
Why it was funny in the first place. I knew I was messing with the best.

As a web designer (well, customizer/reseller for small businesses) I definitely thought I was done for when I heard AI could spit out a functional website in one prompt. Then I saw some examples and realized it's just going to be another thing clients bring me, begging for a fix. No problemo, small upcharge.
Small upcharge? Unfucking a whole front end and backend should be more than small.
They may just be fucked front ends running completely client side, with broken functionality due to no backend
During in my data science master's program, someone unironically sent me a localhost link to a Jupyter Notebook.
My localhost website was a pong clone that I ran out of boredom. Of course, it was name index html.
In one of my programming classes I watched a girl open edge, search bing for Google, then search Google for Yahoo, then search Yahoo for Yahoo Mail. It hurt my soul.
In the really early days a guy who loved trolling before trolling had a name had a link on his website that just pointed to the users downloads folder. Really freaked out some people that clicked on it.
I made a Zip bomb, hid it, called it virus, and found the school OS reinstalled for what would have been a relatively harmless, and very basic trick.
zip bombs were not really thing back then. A fork bomb the was more common.
Idk, I did some dumb shit with a Zip file.
Oh sure but the first time I saw any mention of a zip bomb was after 2005 or so and the stuff I'm talking about happened around 1995 and 1996.
Oh, I was there at that time, sti in school.
Ah the good ol days of Active X. Could pull some pretty sick pranks back then.
I hung in a sysadmins channel on IRC. There was always a new bug/exploit. So many there was never a shortage of ways to lock up or break a windows installation. They would just post random links and hope someone clicked on it. I always used lynx to look at them. It was fun and no one considered at the time using them to steal or rip off people with them.
Entire website
Also known as the most basic thing you could ever do
I made an entire website for my ship using notepad by frankensteining together other websites. Everyone on board thought I was a genius. How wrong they are.
Saw a generated site, but it just made up plausible image links and also went image heavy so it was a bunch of broken image icons as it linked to nowhere.

Behold! My vibe coded website!
http://localhost:8080/
It's asking for a password.
Edit: Never mind, I tried the one from my luggage and it worked.

This was me in high school. In my first Intro to Computer Science class, they taught me how to make a website in html.
Nobody told me that you need a domain. Guess how I found out.
Well, technically you don't need a domain. An IP is enough. If you don't have your own IP (like a shared host) you'll need to put it in a subdirectory but there is no need to have a domain to put something on the Internet.
Yes. My mistake. What I meant to say is that I didn't realize you needed something to host the site on. I tried to send my friend the file and expected them to open it...from my computer.
I was a bit of a noob back in the day.
Nowadays you can just use notepad and share the link to your Microsoft OneDrive folder...
Better yet, use the latest remote code execution exploit in notepad to install and host a local web server!

oh snap, root's here
My boss sat me down recently and was telling me about how I needed to adapt because AI was going to take my job soon. Somehow it was suppose to be an inspiring meeting about my career growth. I just walked away blackpilled at the stupidity of leadership in the company. Oh yeah, we are 1 year into an AI adoption program and most people stopped using it 6 months ago due to it making them look like idiots with it's mistakes.

This reminds me of a video where a girl was like "yeah so you know all that streaming stuff is so expensive? Thanks to AI I coded my own Netflix streaming site..."
And there was this one comment like "Backend???" and she was like "Yeah I dont know what that is, but if you want a part 2 I can do that later" 😂

I gave Claude a shot at guiding me through an install of a matrix home server the other day. It got about halfway through before it absolutely shat itself. I mean like going in circles and completely incapable of breaking itself out.
And that's for a fairly easy sysadmin task. Not even doing it right, just doing it to the point where the service can be brought up and be accessible. I cannot believe anyone is under the impression that these bots are going to take anyone's jobs. The only thing that's going to "destroy jobs" is the rabid desperation management has to destroy labor.
I did the same thing a few days ago, but I'm also pretty well versed with self hosting tedious-to-configure services. I would have spent hours rabbit-holing before setting up, and Claude just sped up the process.
I spent most of my time researching and forming an action plan, arguably the most important piece. Within two hours I had a Matrix server stood up with element-web, as well as coturn for calls. Setting up Element-Call for groups took a little longer, but not terrible all told.
I guess what I'm saying is if you're experienced with a given task, it can be a really great tool to speed things along. If you want to sit back and have it run the show, you're going to have a rough time.
Yeah that's a common issue I've seen with Gemini and ChatGPT as well. They can do simple tasks but as soon as it's something that requires more than a 5-6 steps, or if there are complications along the way they will get lost. Also ChatGPT will commonly just make up commands if it doesn't actually know how to do something.
