Can good web developers tell if a website is made by ChatGPT?

2 pointsby mirawelner4 months ago
I can usually tell when a text is written entirely by ChatGPT. My web development experiance is minimal but I was wondering if experianced web developers can visually tell if a website is made by ChatGPT or heavily influenced by it? I sometimes suspect a website may be made by ChatGPT if it is quite bad, but other than 'bad' I don't have the experiance to really identify specific traits. Is there a CSS/HTML equivalent of the word "delve"?

As a web developer and AI advocate, I&#x27;m going to say no. Web design and web tech have converged on several standards and frameworks and they are everywhere in human-coded websites. Most human made sites have terrible UI design and spaghetti code underneath.<p>Since LLMs can only predict the next most likely token (a word of code, in this case), they&#x27;re going to produce what&#x27;s in their training -- which is all those badly designed sites.<p>So if you see a bad site today, it&#x27;s probably human-made from a template.
