Allen Kopelman argues that AI chatbots and website generators are fast but lack quality. He compares the trend to earlier DIY platforms like Squarespace and Wix, noting he constantly rebuilds low-quality sites that miss the human element that makes work meaningful.

AI chatbots are a long way to go. Uh, the ones that are good are very expensive. Um, AI taking the job of web development, I say it's the same as the DIYers, uh, the DIY movement when Squarespace, Wix, and all the other ones came out and made it super easy. Uh, I laughed at that because I can't tell you how many websites I've had to rebuild that were built on these like generators. I'll tell you what, it's just ridiculous. It's like, because these business owners think that the AI is gonna do this thing for you and it's gonna be great and blah, blah, blah. And there's no human element to it. There's no love, there's no blood, sweat, or tears put behind it. And so it's, it's nothing. It's lifeless.
