Don't only names, addresses, email addresses, account/phone numbers, and illustrations need to be redacted? Couldn't an LLM do at least most of that fast and cheap?

Evoking a vibe is what artists try to do. Visually enticing buyers of your product is what graphic designers do. Either use a designer or copy from the millions of expertly designed sites that already exist. You'll have to change it all anyway in a decade or two when styles and fashions change.

"Splitting the universe of intellectual tasks" would be a gigantic job. Various AI implementations already fail at so many tasks it seems reasonable for skeptics to claim the AI is not yet thinking, and the burden is on the implementers to fix that.
