I spent an evening on a fictitious web

So the purpose of the website wasn't clear to you, you then figured it out, decided to write an article about it, but didn't explain to the reader what the website actually is?

I went to the website, clicked on the search bar, and was immediately stopped from proceeding unless I provided a Google login.<p>Why is that necessary? No idea, they don’t say.<p>Doesn’t seem like a “web” I’d want to partake in, with Google as a gatekeeper even if they’re not the authors of the content.

No more dead links, instead Chrome will instead hallucinate what that website should have looked like.

This is interesting but if you’re genuinely interested in recapturing the feelings many of us had at the beginning of the web, I would suggest playing Hypnospace Outlaw. It’s of course quite different than websim but it’s really fun.

I wonder why they aren’t straightforward that this is just ai generating websites based on a url prompt? It seems like they go out of their way to not say AI.

You know, there a lot of negative comments here but I found this post to be enlightening, so thank you.<p>This YT video explains how this simulation could be useful to the startup community:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;pdWS-ZJ3K8Y?feature=shared" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;pdWS-ZJ3K8Y?feature=shared</a>
