It may still seem too good to be true that you can get ChatGPT to help you create a fully functional website without having to learn any web development code. If you remain skeptical, I hear you: even knowing a bit about how ChatGPT does its thing, there’s still an undeniable whiff of magic about the whole enterprise. After all, it’s not like you’re asking ChatGPT to tell you a knock-knock joke or write a haiku extolling the nutritional value of the rutabaga. No, we’re talking about all the code necessary to build a web page that actually does something semi-useful. That’s a complex ask by any criteria, so whatever remaining skepticism you have is totally warranted.
