Web Development in the Times of AI
summary
Claims that generative AI is growing fast with about 50 new products a day and startups popping up about 200 a day, demonstrates both hype and real tooling. Demos show GPT‑4 turning a photo of a paper sketch into a fragile two‑button site, while assistants like GitHub Copilot and CodeWhisperer autocomplete, explain code, generate tests and speed teams — a paper cites 55.8% faster development. Tools for automation and design conversion include Power Pages, Puppeteer/Playwright and Figma plugins, but generated code is often outdated, insecure or low quality.
