    I mean, we could also link in the w3schools tutorials for html, CSS, and JavaScript.

    It might take a lot of time investment, but we could all learn to make a website without using a generator. Trouble is, none of us have enough time to do everything we want to.

      That’s silly, and comes off as nitpicky and bitter. Did you build the home you’re living in? It’s a ridiculous line of reasoning and comes off as petty, jealous even.

        I did not, but nothing could stop me learning how to.

        In essence, the idea of “start drawing today” is a great one - however it’s a time investment folks are not willing to make. Same as building a home, same as the years of effort it takes to learn artistic skills.

        I’m not a fan of AI putting folks out of work (AI tutor companies are absolute scum), but I also disagree with folks saying “just learn to draw”.

      Don’t half ass this absurdity rabbit hole you started. Go all in.

      install your own water tank, haul your own waste, dispose of your own garbage and supply your own drinking water, better get rid of that washer dryer too. And get rid of that dishwasher. Better throw some wood working tutorials and build your own car, phone, chairs, stairs, table. Take a medical tutorial and diagnose your own cancer.

      None of this is plaigerized just for convenience.

      This is art. there is no good enough reason to plaigerize.

        I mean, take a look at your logic there. You’re right, it is absurd.

        Given it’s the same notion extended the original point was also absurd.

        Thanks for the support.

      A website generator built by a human still gave a human the chance to make some choices, feel useful, validate it worked right, possibly even an income.
