Static HTML/CSS generated by Opus 4.5.

I like using AI for visualizations because it is one-time use throwaway code, so the quality doesn't matter at all (above not being TOTALLY stupid), it doesn't need to be maintained. I review the end result carefully for correctness because it's on a topic I'm an expert of.

I produce non-reusable diagrams namespaced by blog post (so they're never used by any other post). I just sanity check that the implementation isn't like... mining bitcoin or leaking secrets (my personal site has no secrets to build) or something. After that, I don't care at all about that quality.

The information is conveys is the critical part, and diagrams like this make it so much more consumable for people.

That's really cool. I was looking at them and thinking "I could probably make these with vanilla html/css but it'd be pretty tedious." Perfect use case for AI. I need to work on developing a reflex for it.
