I Asked AI to Build a Website. Here's What It Got Completely Wrong

Like many developers, I wanted to see how far AI could go.

So I asked it to build a complete website.

The result looked impressive.

For about 5 minutes.

Then the problems started.

What AI Did Well

• generated code quickly
• decent UI
• good boilerplate

What AI Got Wrong

• poor SEO
• performance issues
• accessibility problems
• duplicated code
• unnecessary complexity

The Lesson

AI can accelerate development.

But it still doesn't understand your users.

And that's where developers still matter.

What has AI built for you that looked great initially but failed in practice?
