Come on, man. You could have taken the extra time to learn it and do it yourself. I use LLMs for development at work (and I do kind of hate what it's done to the process of discovery and joy in puzzle solving; this is why I still do my hobby programming without LLMs), but your typewriter website didn't have to be done on an enterprise schedule. This is like taking photos and using a printer to do your "painting" because you have to "keep up". It's a hobby, you definitely don't have to "keep up".
edit: I'm not commenting on the moral quandary here, but if you don't want to or have to do something, why do it anyway and feel bad about it?
