We tested AI (ChatGPT) to code a website in 1 hour — here is the surprising result

Will AI replace developers? We tried the experiment. Spoiler: it can save time, but it will not replace real expertise.

We ran a simple test: start from a real client brief and produce a first version in 60 minutes. AI accelerated the creation of structure, sections and base HTML/CSS.

What AI does really well

Generate a clean base quickly, suggest copy variations, structure standard blocks and speed up documentation.

What AI cannot replace

Business scoping, UX decisions, technical robustness, security and the final responsibility of going live.

The real result

Yes, you save time on execution. No, you do not remove the developer’s role: it becomes even more strategic, because they ensure quality, consistency and overall performance.

Conclusion: AI is an excellent co-pilot, not an autopilot.
