If you’ve noticed things looking a bit off, that’s because I’m seeing how far I can push AI to build this site.
It started when I was fixing some bugs and got curious. AI’s pretty good at writing, so why not see if it can help build a site I couldn’t do on my own?
Here’s the deal: I come up with all the ideas. AI just executes what I tell it to do. It’s like having a senior engineer who can code faster than I can, but doesn’t think for itself. I’ve been trying out ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity for this.
It’s been interesting. AI can quickly turn my ideas into code, even for complex stuff I don’t know how to do myself. But man, the bugs. I’m constantly switching between tools because they all have different quirks and limitations.
The dream is to eventually use this to create cooler stuff for clients without needing a whole team. Right now though, it’s a bit of a mess. But that’s part of the experiment, right?
I’m not documenting every little thing, but I’m thinking about writing it all up or maybe doing a YouTube video once I’m done. Could be helpful for other designers who want to try this out.
It’s a bit of a wild ride, but I’m curious to see where it goes. AI is often pitched as the tool to come up with ideas for your site, but I’d urge you to use it as a high-level coding tool.
