The cards are not World Cup cards (I thought it was in the style of the Panini sticker album), and judging by the style of the whole website, it tells that this was vibecoded.

What’s the actual objection to it being vibe-coded? Would it somehow be more respectable if someone had wasted precious human hours hand-coding this silly thing?

It would be impressive as a labor of love, right? Most memorable gimmick sites from the early 2000s were like that.

Yeah, I mean having AI generate it is fine for me as that's the world we live in today. It's just, until few years ago, the meaning of such projects was different. "Do cool things and talk about it". That's different from "Pay somebody 50 bucks and show the result" or "Have AI generate code and show the result".

Will take some more time for people to accept that such projects (oftentimes) are no longer "labor of love" but "I had that cool idea and let AI implement it".

Yeah, FUT-style rather than literal World Cup cards the World Cup's just the timing.
