I asked Claude to help me create a website. IMHO the one it built (with some back and forth) was way better than websites I have paid professionals to build.
Furthermore, it showed me how to get it hosted for free.
It created programs that keep it updated that do not involve using Claude.
I currently have a step where I am involved in the updates, but once I have confidence that it can properly handle edge cases I will have it completely automate the process.
I think you’re misunderstanding my question, I’m not saying LLMs can’t spit out a website so perfectly convincing that it would be impossible to discern from a human made website.
I’m asking what makes speeding up the creation of such “slop-sites” useful or desirable to anyone?
EDIT: Maybe you could sell me on why automating undergraduate work is something interesting or helpful?

People keep piling into the copium but they should be paying attention.

My example was to refute the prior comments
Thanks for knowing that my website is slop having not seen it
