    For instance:

    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.

    Siri cannot do that.

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

      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?
