Your clients seem to have got what they wanted, or at least someone who has learned to write like one.

It isn't "clearly human-written" at all, the entire blog looks like LLM output, right from the very first post.
I'm not witch-hunting, there are just a lot of witches.

I just went through some of the posts and you are right. It's very suspicious, but I would say it's right at the edge of being plausibly written by a human. If it's LLM, then it's the first one I'm aware of that got me this good. I am usually the first one to point out that something reeks of LLM writing here (which I'm kinda ashamed of, considering how much I've been doing this).
Tbh the whole smolweb concept by this person seemed kinda weird right when I discovered it was a thing. It seems to not really be a thing but the person is really trying to convince you that it is

Back in the day, websites could just put up an animated "under construction" gif.

I stress over this with my own website-for-work. If I make the developer’s version of my site, who am I talking to? Other devs. If I make the version that appeals to agencies and casual users, there’s a constant voice in my head trying to drag me back to something simpler, lighter, judging me for that threejs hero section. As with all things, I guess it’s a matter of finding the right balance. Web development sure is in a very strange place and transitioning hard right now - off topic but I’m seeing more and more people looking for work and fewer and fewer job postings, especially for freelancers like myself. But maybe I’m not advertising AI bot integrations hard enough.

Are casual users crying out for ai chat bots? From my experience the only stakeholder pushing for those is the business themselves.

By casual users, I mean non technical people who might reasonably be on my website because they’re looking to commission work

I think an important subtlety here is that clients/‘normies’ look at different websites to us, so the taste in websites that they cultivate is different to ours.
