Call musk, they need someone like him!

As long as they got that copy and paste terminal code barrier of entry web dev is safe

The cherry on top is that he just made the website in his downloads folder and not a new folder for the project.

[–] [email protected] 65 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'm Guessing he downloaded it from chatgpt, hence the location

itt: people genuinely think this joke is real

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

I dunno bro, I can really see how the chicken could be enticed to cross the road by virtue of his chicken instincts. I'm something of a biologist myself

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 week ago (3 children)

That's a given, but now he has an entire website in his download dir. So all the scripts, images, child pages, directories, etc. are all over the folder's contents.

If he tried to publish, he would have to find every single dependancy and upload them, which would then require somebody competent to figure out what he missed.

What I am saying is web devs are safe from AI taking their job, for now.

What makes you think this index.html is more than a single Hello World?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

Yeah, you know you can put CSS inline / in the header, and images can be base64 encoded and put in line as well.

Same with JavaScript. It's probably a whole single page website with no ability to cache anything and can never be bigger than the context window

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Anybody that cocky and stupid would never present a simple test of concept as evidence.

They 100% asked AI to make an E commerce or company page.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You are asking a lot from the cocky and stupid

As a web dev I'm not worried, but chatgpt has been useful figuring out some Godot/C# oddities that come with learning a new language. I worry for the new people who will just use what it says and not learn anything.

Even then, it will spit out methods and signatures from different but similar libraries (litedb and sqlite for instance)

But like @[email protected] said, I was expecting it to be a single page, probably rammed with unnecessary JavaScript.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

It's interesting because it lets regular people with little to no training produce software.

It isn't great software, it doesn't always work... but considering the amount of software that an untrained person could produce previously was exactly none, it's a pretty interesting development in technology.

and, it's only going to get better.

It's so we can download all of his downloads from his web server.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (9 children)

My downloads folder is a fucking mess and I'd absolutely do that.

This didn’t tell about your cookie policy and there was no streaming video of something I have no interest in. And where were all the ads?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 days ago

I need to know if there are hot single moms in my area!

Loads better than most websites and works flawlessly on mobile.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

Well at least this may very well work as intended

"Hey ChatGPT! Build a fully functional turnkey ecommerce website."

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Oh and make it FAST, no loading bars or spinners!

[–] [email protected] 83 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That seems really round-about.

Just:

import Money

Money.make('rain')
[–] [email protected] 64 points 1 week ago

Python really does have everything

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Sometimes they block that, so you have to do this instead:

me.accountBalance = exploit.infiniteMoneyGlitch();

You only get access to that method if you were born with rich parents, though.

Isn't that what they did in Superman 3?

if revenue.isTaxed():
    exploit.commitFraud()
else:
    me.callDaddy(moneyPlz)

"Make me the most generic hello world in ReactJS." Wow it's so smart and conscious!

[–] [email protected] 68 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm just surprised it seems to actually be in c/users instead of a OneDrive folder

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 week ago (9 children)

Probably downloaded it from ChatGPT, that's why it's in the downloads folder.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago (7 children)

Default location of the downloads folder becoming OneDrive wouldn't suprise me at all
