The cherry on top is that he just made the website in his downloads folder and not a new folder for the project.
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?
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
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.
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 @rooroo@feddit.org 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.
Its good for stuff that is vague or hard to google.
AI is a great tool, but that's all it is. It's absolutely not a complete solution.
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
It's so we can download all of his downloads from his web server.
My downloads folder is a fucking mess and I'd absolutely do that.
Mine is definitely a junk drawer of random nonsense that is tens of gigs in size.
I wanted to recover files from an old hard drive for a Linux install I had for about a decade, it was not fun to look through for the handful of files I wanted.
My windows one was full of usless .exe installers.
Keep 3 folders on your desktop, "In" "Out" and the trash that's built in to most DEs. Put things you want out of the way in "In", move them to "Out" when you're thinking about getting rid of them, if they've been in "Out" a long time move them to trash.
I think there really needs to be a "long term" of some kind. I definitely have files and templates I only use once a year.
That's what the rest of the drive is for 🤣
Help! Rest of the drive is filled with total junk
I decided to sort my downloads folder into directories and it's so worth it
My downloads folder is only temporary. Like inbox in E-mails.
Why? Just sort by Date
