| That doesn't excuse the fake careers page |

| ▲ | em-bee 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | i think it does. you have to think through the development process here. if we start with the promise that an AI generated site gets more hits, then you'd want to change as little as possible from what the AI generates by hand. yes it's dumb, but the whole premise of generating a website with AI is dumb to begin with. i'd say that when louis discovered that AI websites work better, it broke him in that regard. the choice is now creating a website that i own, as in "this is mine, i made this". or a website that works with google. but i'd want to distance myself from that website as far as possible. "i didn't make this myself, i needed this for google. i don't want to touch it" | |

| 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) |

| ▲ | overgard 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | From what I gathered from (part of) the video, it's not about the HTML, it's the copy. Basically Google is accidentally/intentionally optimizing for copy that sounds like it came from an LLM or a LinkedIn lunatics post. I'm skeptical but I don't have time to watch the entire video so I don't want to cast an initial judgement on if he's correct or if it just has to do with his specific copy. | |

| ▲ | em-bee 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | google search evaluates based on their content and how they look. apparently, according to louis, AI generated websites get a higher score. | | |

| 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. |

| It’s still AI slop, even if your favorite youtuber built it. |
| |
| ▲ | em-bee 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | yes, but that is not the problem here. the problem is that google search favors AI slop that makes this the preferred method of webdesign. there is a huge difference between creating AI slop because i am lazy (which i think most people doing that are) and creating AI slop because otherwise google gives your website a bad rating. now you and i may not care about google ratings, but many other people do, and the end result will be that all websites that want good ratings will end up being AI slop. somehow we need to send google a message to stop that. | | |

| ▲ | Aurornis 4 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | The Google excuse doesn’t even hold water when you consider that the content of the website is so bad that it’s not even going to register for the relevant search terms. It’s just empty AI slop copy. What are they even trying to rank for? It doesn’t make sense. |
