alt Hacker NewsIsn’t that kinda the point, though? If you already lack the required knowledge to ask a web-based chat UI (which, as an aside, is almost exclusively referring to ChatGPT Free for the average user) to build a HTML page, how could you possibly know to go search for Lovable, let alone figure out agents?
I feel as though the gap between the theoretical power of LLMs and what the average user knows of them and their capability have already widened so far that it’s irreconcilable.

Is this an actually serious question? Am I losing my mind here?
I didn't tell my HR friend about Lovable: she found it on her own. Of course someone's not going to Google for Lovable if they've never heard of it, but they might Google for "how do I build a website without knowing anything about it?", or ask ChatGPT the same question.
They're also, most likely, getting endless ads for AI services that help you build various kinds of software shoved into their faces all the time - these ads may not couch the value ad in exactly these terms, but that's fundamentally what they're advertising.
Not everybody is like this but there are plenty of people in the world who, when they have a problem, are quite motivated to find ways to solve it off their own backs.
