1. This is a tongue in cheek website builder, something generative AI would be great at making images (Dalle, Imagen, MJ) and text (GPT4, Claude, Gemini, etc) for a product like this
2. Basically every website builder of substance has AI features now
So maybe chill with the hyperbolic language? ;)
I don't think so at all, AI generated stuff usually has a certain soulless generic air to it that I don't think would suit this.
Probably completely fine for websites that want/need to look like every other website, like classic site builders, Squarespace etc. or internal business apps, forms and such, but for something that seems a bit targeted at letting people be creative, gen AI would do more harm than good I feel.
I can’t believe I’m forced to defend myself here as I generally agree with the premise that adding AI doesn’t make something better (hence the smiley face in my original post), but FFS the FUD and hyperbole is simply in bad form. LOOK at the examples on the site. TRY the experience. Then come back and try and tell me you can’t generate endless amounts of images just like that what’s shown trivially with AI. You are entitled to your own opinion about AI, but that doesn’t make you factually right.
I think the disagreement is less on whether it's technically possible to use AI to help with this and more on whether it's a good idea to do that.
If you want to shift goal posts to that, then we are in agreement, adding AI to something without real care in how it works with the experience isn’t a good idea.
There's nothing stopping anybody from using AI tools directly to generate images, and uploading them onto their site on this platform, if they want to.
