The completed website looks really bad and generic though, I'd argue even with the time saved it's a net loss. Since the generated images and video look uncanny/fake, I'd assume it's a scam website.
Not gonna lie, it's kinda fatiguing seeing people hype lazily generated AI content as really good, when it's more often than not mediocre. I don't know if it's because people are intentionally hyping their results, or if they have poor taste/standards.
I think the real lesson here is less is more, and I'm afraid with generative AI there's gonna be so much churn of content, we'll all become fatigued.
I feel that misses the point. This is a demonstration of what these systems can potentially do.
The website doesn't look great. The emails are a bit generic. But we are in the very early stages of these models. I think the fact that a website can be generated from text prompts is remarkable.
I wouldn't scold my toddler for not walking very steadily.
I agree, it's a cool proof of concept of what can be achieved right now. Maybe I'm being less charitable than you, but I think the author's main focus was on growth hacking and business productivity gains, which works in this case if you ignore/don't care about the nuances/quality of what you're generating
Mediocre was probably better than the the guy's best effort in a domain he didn't understand given a couple of days. That's a net productivity boost for him.
I personally wouldn't want to ship mediocre content that looks like that, so for me all he did was waste 30 minutes prompt generating marketing BS and weird looking images. Don't get me wrong, I think AI can definitely be a productivity and inspiration boost in the right hands, but it's going to be being abused so much, I don't know if in the future I'll be able to read a long paragraph on my screen without wondering if it was written by a human (or even read by one prior)
Sure all the content is mediocre - but it's enough to start, and you could choose where to invest your budget - video editing, artwork, web site - to improve on this stuff that is an actual poc - in half an hour?
