> The same way you can't expect an AI to generate a website in assembly, but you CAN expect it to generate a website with React/tailwind

Can you? Because last time I tried (probably about February) it still wasn’t a thing

[jamesralph8555]

I tried GPT-4o in May and had good results asking it to generate react+tailwind components for me. It might not get things right the first time but it is generally able to respond to feedback well.

That’s not the same as generating a website though. You still need to iterate on the components, and use them.

I agree that using llms for generating things like schemas, components, build scripts etc is a good use of the technology, but we’re no closer to saying “make a saas landing page for X using vercel” and having it ready to deploy, then we were a year ago

Depends on the website, right. Because a single index.html can easily be a website which it cam generate.

[maccard]

I mean, yeah. But that’s not exactly helpful. Technically a web server can serve plain text which your browser will render so that meets the definition for most people.

I don’t think pedantry helps here, it doesn’t add to the conversation at all.
