I think this has always been the end result - when the user can enter a business problem and it spins up a site, and they don't have to think about the hosting, database, app, etc.
Vibe coding full circle
And it will be good enough for 90% of use cases.

I think it’ll just raise the automation bar that much higher. In other words, it will be good enough for 90% of yesterday’s use-cases. But tomorrow’s? I’m bearish.
I imagine the amount of onerous bureaucracy when interacting with any entity is going to explode if they expect you to do it in an automated fashion, for both private companies and the government. Especially as roles are cut because they can be “automated”. Except only 80% of the workload can be reliably automated, the other 20% requires a long tail of effort.
And whose neck can you choke when an error from the AI generated site forces you to refund customers or something worse?
Its not for those uses cases. though. THink about squarespace/wix hosting all the company landing pages, restaurant menus, daycares. This will replace it.
In my area many of those use cases are handled by Facebook pages already. For the general public this might still seem too technical.
given the percentage of business processes that still run on a manually updated spreadsheet, I am not sure that is actually worse.
It is likely better in some ways and worse in others...and few of hte people involved will have the understanding to tell the difference.
