My LLM/AI experiement – and why I shut it down

In 2023, I started an experiment: I wanted to see whether a fully AI-generated website could pass as human-made, and interact on social media as a “real website.” I didn’t finish it, but still wish to document it here. The data is now almost whole two years old, but I think it is relevant to save and share – as I make more up-to-date videos on the topic.
