There is going to come one day that companies (and any website owner) will wish they didn't use AI and instead used a simple (maybe even plain-text) website. That will come when people really need information from that website but can't get to it.

- hexapus 29d agoI wish that was the answer to all of these people setting their spouse, their grandmother, their boss loose with LLMs to build sites. It should just be acceptable to have a simple site that conveys information well, and then we wouldn't need to boil the seas to generate pages of shiny slop.
- tommica 29d agoAbsolutely this. Although I like the shiny and polished looks, getting the info out is the most important, and it is hard yo beat pure black-on-white text
- jjpones 29d agoHeck, you can have your information as clear and concise as possible, but the moment I sense that "AI-generated" texture, I am immediately closing the tab. This is just extrapolating from how I feel about the bevy of obviously AI-Generated flyers and banners that have been gaining a lot of traction in real life.
- flyingshelf 29d agoDoubtful. This is just the cost of doing business. 99.9999% uptime for a fraction of the cost is totally fine for all businesses. Government should be the exception though.
- kozikow 29d agoI've seen some websites now just serve separate md endpoint (for agents to read) I even ended reading those instead of main "interactive" websites myself As agents are not great at navigating react either, this will catch on and you will have what you want
- graemep 29d agoHow do you find these?
