I recently ported skatevideosite.com from svelte/python to ruby on rails. I leaned on AI heavily to translate the svelte files to ERB templates and it did a wonderful job.

My experiene generally with these systems is that they are good with handling things you _give_ it, but less so when coming up with stuff from scratch.

For example I've tried to use it to build out additional features and the results are subpar.

Agree, yeah "vibe coding" is super cringe haha
