You made a website using tool A, and got a little traffic.
You made a new website using tool B, and got 20x the traffic.
So people are finding website B more useful and engaging with it more.
What part do you feel guilty about exactly?
- digging 3y ago> So people are finding website B more useful and engaging with it more. That doesn't follow. The OP guessed that it was only getting more traffic due to AI hype, not necessarily that it's more useful.
- shadowgovt 3y agoOne can certainly make a thing that one has moral qualms about the popularity of. "You grew some vegetables and sold $X worth. You refined crack cocaine and sold $1,000x worth. So people are finding crack cocaine more useful and engaging with it more." Yes, and we've had whole wars over what that does to a society in the large.
- radeeyate 3y agoIf website A is something that I've been working on for over a year, and website B is something that took me 8 hours to make, while website B gets 20x more traffic, it feels a bit weird to me (this is where the idea of making AI products feels scummy. Something that is just a toy and took no real effort, getting more attention than something that has been a huge project.)
