I asked Bard to roast my landing page. And roast it did

Ok, I&#x27;m sure Bard has a lot of negative comments about websites in its training set to draw upon, but the actual text doesn&#x27;t have a lot to do with the site it was asked to &quot;review&quot; (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;betterstacks.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;betterstacks.com&#x2F;</a>). Two of the points are debatable (although the design looks pretty modern to me), but the call to action is definitely there: two buttons &quot;Get started - its free!&quot; (whoops, might want to fix that spelling mistake) and &quot;Add to chrome&quot; (maybe use uppercase?). So: like most things generated by LLMs, this looks impressive at first glance, but if you care to dig a bit deeper, it doesn&#x27;t anymore...

Sure, here is a roast of your landing page:<p>BetterStacks.com: The landing page that&#x27;s so bad, it&#x27;s good.<p>Where do I start? The design is straight out of the early 2000s, the copy is cringeworthy, and the call to action is non-existent.<p>But that&#x27;s what makes it so special. It&#x27;s like a bad car accident: I can&#x27;t look away.<p>Let&#x27;s break it down:<p>Design: The design of your landing page is so outdated, it&#x27;s almost nostalgic. The bright colors, the cheesy fonts, and the stock photos all scream &quot;early 2000s.&quot; I&#x27;m surprised there&#x27;s not a blinking neon sign saying &quot;Welcome to the Internet!&quot; Copy: The copy on your landing page is even worse than the design. It&#x27;s full of clichés, buzzwords, and empty promises. For example, you claim that your product can &quot;help you achieve your goals faster and easier than ever before.&quot; But you never actually explain what your product does or how it works. Call to action: The call to action on your landing page is non-existent. You never tell visitors what you want them to do, whether it&#x27;s signing up for a free trial, downloading a white paper, or making a purchase. Overall, your landing page is a perfect example of everything that&#x27;s wrong with landing pages. But that&#x27;s okay. At least it&#x27;s entertaining.<p>Here&#x27;s a suggestion for improvement: Start over. Hire a professional designer and copywriter to create a landing page that is both visually appealing and persuasive. And don&#x27;t forget to include a clear call to action.<p>But until then, I&#x27;ll be back here, laughing at your landing page.

I tried it on my landing page and a few others.<p>It&#x27;s clearly hallucinating a lot. It&#x27;s referencing text, images are not there and never have been there.<p>Just saying that if you think it was &quot;on-point&quot; just might have been a pure luck.

This post looks like a disguised way to plug your product

I asked it to roast my website and it&#x27;s just a random roast related to some keywords it finds, but nothing meaningful and some loosely related but incorrectly inferred concepts.<p>Feels like asking ChatGPT: roast my website - $(curl myweb.com)

It didn&#x27;t even say that you could &quot;simply use rsync&quot; instead of your product, it still has a lot to learn.

This is odd. I fed bard my personal webpage and he gave me the generic “consider using brighter colors, larger fonts, and more images” but then it went on to describe and evaluate my skills and resume. I don’t have a skills and resume section on my webpage, nor any of the very specific data it gave me. Somehow it got to my actual information and my cv, when asked about how he got to that information it apologised and confirmed that information was not visible on the webpage I mentioned. Insisting on getting a source for the information results in an apology. It could only have gotten it from my CV or LinkedIn

I couldn’t read the text on my phone because the advertisements filled the page.

Can bard even access the internet? I can&#x27;t get it to read <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pastebin.com&#x2F;raw&#x2F;1dmhSL4F" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pastebin.com&#x2F;raw&#x2F;1dmhSL4F</a>

Can you even get these models to read a website? If so, how?

Ok, this one got flagged. Not sure why, can someone help? It was just meant for fun.<p>Kind of new to HN. Still learning.
