I agree. But AI is not needed either. I have used Weebly in the past, just type in the text, choose pictures and you're done.

  Why should people need to understand the markup and JS for a generated static brochure page? That's the premise of this page. I do, for my pages. But when I write a Word document, I have absolutely no fucking clue what any of the underlying formatting code means. I feel like people forget that for ordinary desktop publishing, HTML/JS is a gigantic step backwards. Getting us back to the status quo of the 1990s, whether it's LLMs or Weebly, would be a very good thing.

    Don't we have Wix and Squarespace for that just like we had Dreamweaver in the 1990's?

      And nobody besides people working at these companies will be sad to see it go.

        Like, I genuinely believe that if we had the developer culture 1991 that we do now in 2025, people would be saying the same thing about Word. Hell, people absolutely do say that about Word. It's just gatekeeping.

          Gatekeeping of what? That a service that costs them cents is sold as a subscription model that gets really expensive if you need more than the absolute basics? I am glad LLMs will kill companies like that.
