      Probably downloaded it from ChatGPT, that’s why it’s in the downloads folder.

        I did a quick install of windows (last year I think?) and it sorted everything into a onedrive folder. documents, pictures, videos, downloads, all that stuff, looked normal from the file explorer, but was sneakily placed into a onedrive folder. it went something like c:/users/me/onedrive/. didn’t realize what it had done until like 2 days later and it gave me some popup about not being able to upload. i don’t even have a onedrive account; it just decided that was how it should be done. no idea what, if anything, it actually uploaded.

        now if i have to install windows i have a script from privacy.sexy i run before doing anything else. havent had that happen again yet. still, probably best to assume anything on a windows machine is not private.

    The cherry on top is that he just made the website in his downloads folder and not a new folder for the project.

        That’s a given, but now he has an entire website in his download dir. So all the scripts, images, child pages, directories, etc. are all over the folder’s contents.

        If he tried to publish, he would have to find every single dependancy and upload them, which would then require somebody competent to figure out what he missed.

        What I am saying is web devs are safe from AI taking their job, for now.

            Anybody that cocky and stupid would never present a simple test of concept as evidence.

            They 100% asked AI to make an E commerce or company page.
