Stop Picking The Wrong Website Builder
- There's a website that categorises every way you can build with AI right now — and having tried most of them, I want to save you the time I lost
- The core problem with chat-only builders like Lovable, Bolt, and similar: once the site is generated, what do you do when you need to move one element? Prompt again and wait?
- My recommendation: if you want a site you'll actually edit and maintain, use a builder with AI embedded — Wix AI, Framer AI, or Webflow AI — not a pure chat-to-code tool
- Key limitations to know before you commit: Wix and Framer don't let you export your code — you don't own it; Webflow lets you export HTML/CSS/JS but not the CMS; WordPress.org gives you full ownership
- The broader point: AI is great at generating the first version — it's not great at being your ongoing editor — and most tools aren't designed with that reality in mind
- If you just need online presence fast, don't overthink it — pick anything and go; if you need a real product you'll grow, think about lock-in before you start
AI Is Rewriting The Rules Of Language — UX Collective
- Dora's article makes a sharp observation: since late 2022, certain words and patterns have become measurably more common online — "delve," the em dash, a particular kind of hollow corporate fluency
- The deeper risk isn't just that AI-written content sounds the same — it's that it compresses human variability; when everyone uses the same model, the differences in how people express themselves start to disappear
- AI works on averages — it produces the mean of everything it was trained on — which is why asking it to "write a blog post" produces something technically correct and completely bland
- The fix isn't to avoid AI, it's to give it your experiences first — your stories, your perspective, your reasoning — and use it only to help you express what you've already thought
- On cognitive atrophy: grammar is getting worse among people who use AI to write, for the same reason I can't remember phone numbers anymore — if a tool does it for you, the part of your brain that used to do it quietly switches off
- Dora ends with hope — language has survived the printing press, the telegraph, texting — it will absorb this too
- My concern is narrower: the more we delegate thinking to AI, not just typing, the more our ability to think atrophies — and that's the one thing AI genuinely cannot do for us
