He paid nothing for his new website. Made it himself, with these two hands and the help of AI. He wrote a single sentence describing his ideal website, and out came a professional-looking site with happy office staff doing serious work. One of them has six fingers. And three hands.
The about page says customers are at the heart of everything they do. He can’t say what that means, because he hasn’t read all the content on his own website. He had a quick glance, it looked good, and he put it live. The contact page, which he prompted himself, has no contact details, no contact form and no way to get in touch with the business at all.
Zero pounds. Absolute bargain. I think he got ripped off. If that sounds familiar, here’s how to fix an AI-generated website.

This fictional conversation is actually scripted around a real one. Any similarities to people past and present is entirely purposeful and I hope they watch this and realize the errors of their ways. So how much did you pay for this new [music] website? Zero, mate. You are not nothing.
Yep. Well, how have you paid nothing? Made it myself, mate. With these two [music] hands and and the help of AI. Yes.
State-of-the-art AI this mate. I wrote a single sentence describing my ideal website. Designed me a professionallook website with happy office staff doing serious work but not too serious work before getting down to the serious work. The image on that page there, that guy has got six fingers. Yeah, I noticed that earlier. And three hands. And the other two hands have got 1 2 3 4. Yeah, it's not perfect at the moment. Eight [music] fingers. And that page there, what does this mean?
What's that? On your about page, it says, "Customers are at the heart of everything that we [music] do." Well, they are. But what does it mean? It means we pride ourselves on our customer service. No.
AI wrote that one for you on your history page. I'm getting all these pages mixed up. I haven't read through all content yet. You haven't read the content on your website. I had a quick glance.
Look good. Smashed it live. Check out that contact page, though. I prompted that myself. Right.
Create a professionallook contact page that puts our customers at the heart of everything that we do. There's no contact details on here. Oh. Or a contact form. Ah. Or indeed any way to get in touch with your business at all. Yeah, that could become an issue that one. How much did you pay for this website again? Zero, mate. Absolute [music] bargain. Yeah, I think you got ripped off.
