It's easy for me to forget that people don't know how to make their own websites by hand any more (mostly, they never did, which is why platforms and social media become so popular). These days, people are using AI to work with website-creation and hosting sevrices. In this post, Pete Millspaugh conduct vibe coding trials with Lovable, v0, Replit, Claude Artifacts, and ChatGPT Sites all making the same website, feeling the same prompt to each tool. It can be annoying; for example, he writes, "I'm using up 'credits' as the machine works—0.70 so far, now 2.30, now 3.10, oh boy—and I have no clue what that means. There are no units. I'd prefer dollars." It's pretty easy to make a website in 2026, he says, lauding the fact that "end-user programming, the idea that everyone should be able to customize their own software, seems more possible than ever." Still, "a slopsite, an AI-generated website with little to no human thinking involved, is often worse than no website at all." Via Jim Nielsen.
