I hope this gets resolved in WordPress 7.2, because the Table of Contents block not being supported in templates is blowing my mind. In my opinion, templates are where the block makes the most sense. 🤷‍♂️

So, your new AI generated website looks done, huh? Is it? itlooksdone.com

It Looks Done: Same site. Very different Tuesday.

AI is great at the visible 20% of a website. Watch launch day happen to a vibe-coded app and a WordPress site, and see the other 80%.

AI in workflows shouldn't be intrusive. It's about additive, helpful, and elegant integrations that genuinely simplify user experiences, not complicate them. Expect AI to enhance developer and content editor workflows, making creation easier. #AI #Workflow #Tech
