Yup haha, fully agree that there is a middle ground to be found.

I use AI for a lot of things. But in a sea of AI output, I do want to make sure that what I do had the ability to stand out (whether that's text, design, media, UX, etc).

No RSS feed yet but will work on that soon! (Or have AI do it )

That's fair! I guess my idea with this series is to highlight some typical places where you see lots of AI slop, where most people don't want to go the extra mile, but where doing so can help you establish as a brand.

What do you mean? It's been a long time since I've posted here.

How I built it:

- Crawled a car-related website to gather relevant data.

- Converted the data into a CSV with over 20k rows, then asked Cursor AI to model and migrate it into my database.

- Used Cursor AI to build the entire Laravel website using the TALL stack (I had no prior experience with any of these components, but heard they were versatile).

- Had Cursor create the animations of the cars you see on the page.

- Leveraged my previous website-building experience (mostly with WordPress) to set up navigation, breadcrumbs, and a decent URL structure.

- Pushed the site live on Cloudways via GitHub (which was a new experience for me).

I’m sharing this for two reasons:

- To showcase my work—I'm proud of the end product (I chuckle when I see the car animation struggle to turn around in a narrow street).

- To highlight the capabilities of AI in building websites. I was genuinely impressed by what I could achieve with AI assistance throughout this project.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me anything!
