As someone who has always despised front-end programming, I would be more than satisfied if LLMs turned out to only be particularly good at that. Given the number of pages we've all seen where the content as well as the front-end are obviously 90% AI-generated, I understand the knee-jerk reaction against sites clearly designed by AI, but it's unfortunate that leads to a negative reaction against (or even just a difficulty distinguishing) sites where people share a tool/knowledge of their own that they never would have shared if it would have taken even just a few days of futzing around with CSS/figuring out the latest JS framework...

I think people under-estimate how much of an effect the unreasonable complexity of modern front-end programming has had, especially outside of tech. My wife works in the non-profit world and I have been completely blown away by how much "designers" barely able to tweak a wordpress plugin get away with charging... She's an "AI skeptic" herself, but almost cried with joy when I showed her V0 [0].

[0] Not as good at coding as others, but probably the single most impressive AI product I've played with from a UX perspective.
