- Aurornis 5mo agoThat’s a vibe coded AI slop website if I’ve ever seen one. It even has a careers page that they didn’t try to edit out. There’s basically no information there. Is this just a copy of the other GitHub repo that was removed and someone is trying to rebrand it as their own? Or did they do some different work?

- em-bee 5mo agoThat’s an LLM generated website if I’ve ever seen one the explanation for that is here https://youtu.be/II2QF9JwtLc https://youtu.be/II2QF9JwtLc basically louis found that not using AI to design his website drastically reduced the hits he would get from google.
- andhug 5mo agoIt’s still AI slop, even if your favorite youtuber built it.
- em-bee 5mo agoyes, but that is not the problem here. the problem is that google search favors AI slop that makes this the preferred method of webdesign. there is a huge difference between creating AI slop because i am lazy (which i think most people doing that are) and creating AI slop because otherwise google gives your website a bad rating. now you and i may not care about google ratings, but many other people do, and the end result will be that all websites that want good ratings will end up being AI slop. somehow we need to send google a message to stop that.
- nathanmills 5mo ago> somehow we need to send google a message to stop that. ...
- Aurornis 5mo agoThe Google excuse doesn’t even hold water when you consider that the content of the website is so bad that it’s not even going to register for the relevant search terms. It’s just empty AI slop copy. What are they even trying to rank for? It doesn’t make sense.
- stronglikedan 5mo agoand still necessary, regardless of who built it

- tankenmate 5mo ago"Vibe coding a slop website drastically increases your bounce rate and reduces trust in your project."; but only for a subset of the potential audience. This is something I learnt early in my start up career, "You are not your customer"; what you value and what your customers value may not be the same.
- sucrosesucrose 5mo ago> Vibe coding a slop website drastically increases your bounce rate and reduces trust in your project. The masses love this. Really! They love their slop like the good little cattle they are. Source: I work in this field with customers, they love the AI-slop corpo-fied website that looks like an app.
- Aurornis 5mo agoThis website isn't for "the masses". It's for a technical audience. Technical audiences do not love AI slop.
- c-hendricks 5mo agoWait, why would the method in which the HTML that Google indexes was generated matter? (I get that web vitals might be taken into account, but you don't need a slop generator to make a static page)
- em-bee 5mo agogoogle search evaluates based on their content and how they look. apparently, according to louis, AI generated websites get a higher score.
- skeledrew 5mo agoMakes sense, since AI is also doing the ranking.
- overgard 5mo agoFrom what I gathered from (part of) the video, it's not about the HTML, it's the copy. Basically Google is accidentally/intentionally optimizing for copy that sounds like it came from an LLM or a LinkedIn lunatics post. I'm skeptical but I don't have time to watch the entire video so I don't want to cast an initial judgement on if he's correct or if it just has to do with his specific copy.
- em-bee 5mo agoi think you got the gist of it. the whole video doesn't really add any evidence as to how he came to that conclusion, it's mostly about why it's bad and how he feels about it.
- skeledrew 5mo agoIt's not about the HTML. It's about the wording of the content. The more he had AI reword things, the better his ranking became.
- queenkjuul 5mo agoThat doesn't excuse the fake careers page
- em-bee 5mo agoi think it does. you have to think through the development process here. if we start with the promise that an AI generated site gets more hits, then you'd want to change as little as possible from what the AI generates by hand. yes it's dumb, but the whole premise of generating a website with AI is dumb to begin with. i'd say that when louis discovered that AI websites work better, it broke him in that regard. the choice is now creating a website that i own, as in "this is mine, i made this". or a website that works with google. but i'd want to distance myself from that website as far as possible. "i didn't make this myself, i needed this for google. i don't want to touch it"
- starkeeper 5mo agoIt's not fake? Why do you think it is fake?
