What was your prompt?

In my experience it’s great at utilizing local storage and SQLite, if you ask it to.

I just asked the ChatGPT web client (4o, as that’s what most non-developers might default to):

> Can you build me a website for my photos

And it immediately started suggesting Wordpress, Wix, Squarespace, etc.

Specifically, this was section 4 of the various questions it asked me:

> 4. Tech Preference (optional)

> - Do you want this as a static HTML site, WordPress, or built with something like React, Next.js, or Wix/Squarespace? > - Do you need help hosting it (e.g., using Netlify, Vercel, or shared hosting)?

As a non-programmer, I likely wouldn’t understand half those words, and the section is marked optional.

If I follow the “default path” I’m quickly forking over a credit card and uploading my pictures of dogs/family/rocks to the cloud.
