I gave eight AIs the same web development task of creating a simple one-page website, using only HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Was it worth it? Back when I was creating volunteer websites on evenings and weekends, it would take me a couple of weeks to finish a web page. Having a trustworthy AI tool available would cut that down to maybe a week, week and a half. Unfortunately, AI cannot help you get needed information from a volunteer coordinator with too many things to remember, so it can only help so much. This is part of the Make vs Buy series, exploring whether it’s better to build things yourself or pay for ready-made solutions, and the conclusion of Series 1. In the next series, I’ll be looking at common household tasks, and when it’s best to buy a service, or do it yourself. But what about the technology angle? Oh, it's still there, from the importance of the internet in the DIY renaissance to the usefulness of 3D printing. https://makevbuy.substack.com/p/where-does-this-place-ai-assisted
