A programming language designed specifically to be generated using prompts would be useless because the AI would have no data to actually generate the code from prompts. You have to realize that so-called AI is more of a lossy search engine

I run a OpenSMTPD+Dovecot SMTP server on a rented VPS with my own domain. It /mostly/ runs fine, but when something breaks, that's really annoying. I think using a paid service with your own domain is probably a lot superior
