Matt Wolfe explains how V0 clones websites from a URL by screenshotting and feeding the image to an LLM. The tool now matches designs 95% accurately, up from 70%, making it trivially easy to copy a website's look without hiring developers.

We showed in the last episode that you could clone a website pretty easily with V0, but it wasn't perfect. There's a lot of things that were different. You know, it was probably like a 70% match or something like that. I would say they're like in the realm of like 95% match now. For anyone who's creating a new website now, you could go to V0 and show it a UI that you like or a design. Well, what it's doing is it looks at the URL and it takes a screenshot and then it puts that into the system to the LLM or whatever. And so. And so that's what they're doing. So, like, you could do it. If you did a design, then obviously this, the same thing would work. You design it, you put in there and it will give you the basic code for that design as a website. So many new opportunities in terms. Well, you know, you could have people copying people, which I'm not really a big fan of, but that, that will definitely be happening. So if you're in business, be aware that people will now be able to just literally type in your URL and say, I want that. Give me that. I don't have to pay anyone for it. I don't have to hire a developer or anything. I just want that they'll get like 95% of the way there.
