maybe the html part is unique to ai, i suppose.

but a c-suite picking up some tool, making a toy example, then declaring “well doing X is super easy, roll it out” (or “change the kpi”, etc.) is something i have seen dozens of times.

HTML is not relevant here. I think the problem is that LLMs are qualitatively different.

"No code" tools are usually just tools. They have the pitfalls you describe, but they aren't ego stroking machines like LLMs.

LLMs not only share the same pitfalls, they also encourage you to make the dumbest things. They will make this CEO believe they are the smartest engineer in the world, "you're building exactly the right product", "you're asking precisely the right questions", etc. Ego stroking when leading you to the abyss is very dangerous.

LLMs roleplay as smart human engineers who constantly tell you you're the smartest being in the multiverse.
