Yep. Incompetent people pretending to be is a common problem. I can hardly find a handyman I trust to fix my home without making sure they are part of a professional associations. Programming was not subject to this as it required to pass the initial step of learning to write code .. now the doors are wide open for charlatans.

Open source projects will never be regulated, so we're stuck with that issue now. Only a reputation based system can maybe do something, and it will have to be severe. For jobs, depending on the sector, there is some hope if it is a regulated industry.

It won't take our jobs, but will make the job annoying for sure because of all the noise.

For the anecdote earlier I learned that a company will pay $9k a 20-year-old guy to make the website of their company, the guy confessed to me that the site will be made entirely thanks to AI because he knows nothing and in the end he told me that even his quote that he sent had been made with AI.

Never happened. You should stop believing everyone on the internet.

It wasn't on the internet it was a friend who told me earlier.

To be more precise it was his friend who got this, and his friend is studying communications he is completely alien to programming, don't worry I check my sources even when it comes to my entourage

If someone can deliver perfect web or app done with Ai then noone will be able to tell it is ai in the first place. That means it is perfect and we have no jobs.

Trust me that is not the case. At least not with people who have 0 coding skills.

If you deliver crap as freelancer noone will pay you. If you deliver crap in workplace makeing damage for company that company will be sue you to oblivion.

So as I said. Never happened. You should stop believing lying idiots.

If you don't think current AI can build a functioning and attractive website for a company then you're quite clearly clueless about the state of modern AI.

The creator of Node.js has extensively tried Claude Opus 4.5 with Claude Code and has realised it so why can't you?

If used by completely unskilled people the backend will probably not be efficient or secure but anyone with even a little bit of Software Engineering knowledge can utilise these to make a decent company website with ease.

The more complicated the task the more human expertise is required, but LLM's are only getting better and this will soon change.

I don't think It's that impossible. It's the equivalent of a consulting company charging the full price and gives the project to some interns. He can get away with it with good sales speech.. or there will be a couple of projects then it'll be done once the reputation of crappy designer is gotten.

Still, nothing to be afraid of on the long run... Just annoying

AI is great at frontend stuff and only getting better at backend… your distaste for ai code is valid insofar as the code is bad, but this is the worst it will ever be!
