That’s an LLM generated website if I’ve ever seen one

the explanation for that is here https://youtu.be/II2QF9JwtLc

basically louis found that not using AI to design his website drastically reduced the hits he would get from google.

Vibe coding a slop website drastically increases your bounce rate and reduces trust in your project.

This looks like the kind of fake foundation website someone vibecodes to trick people into downloading a Trojan horse.

You can use an LLM to generate a website format and then take 10 minutes to review it and put real text on it.

This is just lazy excuse making. Don’t let a smooth talking YouTuber override what you can see with your own eyes.

That doesn't excuse the fake careers page

Wait, why would the method in which the HTML that Google indexes was generated matter?

(I get that web vitals might be taken into account, but you don't need a slop generator to make a static page)

It’s still AI slop, even if your favorite youtuber built it.
