As someone who made websites in the geocities days, it's amusing to me that one of the tell-tale signs of a Gemini-built website is a MARQUEE! I genuinely love that the marquee tag is making a come-back due to what I can only imagine was someone on the Google team who loves it too and decided to put that into the system prompt when websites are requested.
- Core_Dev 9mo agoHonestly? That is the real reason. I miss the era when the web was raw, weird, and unpolished. Modern UI feels too sanitized and corporate. The "Neo-Brutalist" label is just a convenient modern excuse to bring back the fun chaos of the Geocities days without looking outdated. Glad it hit the nostalgia nerve!

- elicash 9mo agoI couldn't tell they replied to me with AI (it didn't read like it did to me, but I could be wrong). But even if they did, one thing I'm sympathetic to is that English is not everyone's first language. Again, I don't know if that applies here, but it's a good reason that some might want to run their comments through an LLM. I don't think there should be a blanket rule on this.
- Core_Dev 9mo agoSorry, English is not my native language like billions of people on the planet.
- hju22_-3 9mo agoThen why make a product whose purpose it is to convey written technical information to users of that language, if it's also a language that you need assistance in to communicate properly with?
