The cherry on top is that he just made the website in his downloads folder and not a new folder for the project.

I'm Guessing he downloaded it from chatgpt, hence the location
That's a given, but now he has an entire website in his download dir. So all the scripts, images, child pages, directories, etc. are all over the folder's contents.
If he tried to publish, he would have to find every single dependancy and upload them, which would then require somebody competent to figure out what he missed.
What I am saying is web devs are safe from AI taking their job, for now.
What makes you think this index.html is more than a single Hello World?
Anybody that cocky and stupid would never present a simple test of concept as evidence.
They 100% asked AI to make an E commerce or company page.
You are asking a lot from the cocky and stupid
I have reasonable expectations based on the hubris of people ignorant of both AI and what they use it on.
Yeah, you know you can put CSS inline / in the header, and images can be base64 encoded and put in line as well.
Same with JavaScript. It's probably a whole single page website with no ability to cache anything and can never be bigger than the context window
As a web dev I'm not worried, but chatgpt has been useful figuring out some Godot/C# oddities that come with learning a new language. I worry for the new people who will just use what it says and not learn anything.
Even then, it will spit out methods and signatures from different but similar libraries (litedb and sqlite for instance)
But like @[email protected] said, I was expecting it to be a single page, probably rammed with unnecessary JavaScript.
Its good for stuff that is vague or hard to google.
AI is a great tool, but that's all it is. It's absolutely not a complete solution.

It's .html, I am not expecting many dependencies.
It's so we can download all of his downloads from his web server.
My downloads folder is a fucking mess and I'd absolutely do that.
Mine is definitely a junk drawer of random nonsense that is tens of gigs in size.
I wanted to recover files from an old hard drive for a Linux install I had for about a decade, it was not fun to look through for the handful of files I wanted.

This didn’t tell about your cookie policy and there was no streaming video of something I have no interest in. And where were all the ads?
I need to know if there are hot single moms in my area!

Loads better than most websites and works flawlessly on mobile.
Well at least this may very well work as intended

"Hey ChatGPT! Build a fully functional turnkey ecommerce website."
That seems really round-about.
Just:
import Money
Money.make('rain')
Python really does have everything
Sometimes they block that, so you have to do this instead:
me.accountBalance = exploit.infiniteMoneyGlitch();
You only get access to that method if you were born with rich parents, though.
if revenue.isTaxed():
exploit.commitFraud()
else:
me.callDaddy(moneyPlz)

I'm just surprised it seems to actually be in c/users instead of a OneDrive folder
Probably downloaded it from ChatGPT, that's why it's in the downloads folder.
Default location of the downloads folder becoming OneDrive wouldn't suprise me at all
Agree. The default download location on iOS and padOS is iCloud and it's pretty clear that Microsoft is chasing Apple's monetization model.
That sounds like hell, imagine running an exe from the cloud
You just invented saas

I did a quick install of windows (last year I think?) and it sorted everything into a onedrive folder. documents, pictures, videos, downloads, all that stuff, looked normal from the file explorer, but was sneakily placed into a onedrive folder. it went something like c:/users/me/onedrive/. didn't realize what it had done until like 2 days later and it gave me some popup about not being able to upload. i don't even have a onedrive account; it just decided that was how it should be done. no idea what, if anything, it actually uploaded.
now if i have to install windows i have a script from privacy.sexy i run before doing anything else. havent had that happen again yet. still, probably best to assume anything on a windows machine is not private.
Sorry but no.
OneDrive would never back up a Downloads folder, that is just silly with the amount of data it gathers. Would fill up MS servers in no time.
The only folders it may put automatically in OneDrive are Pictures, Documents and Desktop.
it literally happened to me but ok
I believe you. When my ex got a laptop, literally every folder was onedrive. Even system folders were mapped to onedrive it was ridiculous. I had to backup all her stuff and manually fix the fuckery in the registry editor before i could uninstall onedrive.

I think it might offer Downloads as an optional checkbox to select on first login, but can't remember off top of my head. Also, they definitely want you to blow through your free storage to give you a reason to upgrade the storage.
the embodiment of "it works fine on my machine"
Call musk, they need someone like him!
You're a visionary Ben.
As long as they got that copy and paste terminal code barrier of entry web dev is safe

Now start adding the "Well yes, but if" demands until the system inevitably breaks.
