It seems like everyone is more worried about how something was made rather than what it is or whether or not the work is good on its own merit. Ironic from a group that is surely using AI tools in their own work.
replyHow it is made is often a strong indicator of whether or not the work is good.
replyYou don't find many literary masterpieces scrawled in permanent market on a toilet wall.
"...on the subway wall." - Paul Simon
replyBut you do find plenty of dubious traits in the authors (both the toilet scrawlers and the literary gods).
replyThey are not in the website business though.
replyI'm confused by your response. I was trying to understand if the product and the company are real. An AI-generated website is not a positive signal. Neither is the lack of any product photos. And if you go to Wikipedia, you'll learn that the REO Motor Car Company went defunct in 1967, with no mention of any revival.
replySo my first thought was that it might be a subtle troll or a hoax. I did a bit more research and found the links to trade articles. It's not a dig at AI. And TBH, I'm sure that LLM's feelings weren't hurt.
You could have simply just not engaged…? It’s no different. You’re doing a similar pollution!
replyThe lack of self-awareness is baffling.
There is something to be said about this particular style of argument, as it's akin to the "paradox of tolerance".
replyUltimately I think the most fair thing is to let both sides attempt to build support until a clear victor emerges.
Vibecoding your whole website is an indication of how seriously you’re taking a project. With how new this company is and how clearly this whole website was made with AI, how can you trust a single thing this website says about a product that barely exists? The AI probably just invented half of it
replyWorse than vibe coding is vibe copywriting—and it appears to have that in spades. I have a really hard time taking something seriously that reads like it came straight out of Claude Code without even a minimal editing pass.
replyI hope it's legit, though, and that they succeed! I'd love to buy a product like they're planning to build.
Damn you, company who isn't making websites for a living, where are your priorities!?
