Grandma could ask the AI agent literally all these questions and get solid answers. At any point you get confused you can just ask what to do. You can highlight a line of code and ask “what does this mean?” You can even say “I want this web page to be put online what do I do?”
Explain to me how you did that 15 years ago. Ask on stackoverflow and wait for a human to respond?
You’re also taking my example application way too literally. No I don’t know why Grandma needs a signup form, I just couldn’t think of a web app off the top of my head.
And my goodness you’re acting like you’ve never heard of Squarespace, which is 1000x better than Geocities ever was, by the way.
MS Access and WSYWIG tools like FrontPage and iWeb were not good. I know because I was there and I used them at work. A link to your email (spam spam spam) is not a replacement for an application with a database.
