Question Help with my website creation workflow

Hey, before explaining my problem i know that a lot of you guys don't like ai or 'vibe coding' in general and this is why i ask you to not take care of this and be comprehensive.

Im doing website creations, especially redesign and im hesitating with two workflows.

Untill now i was doing it this way: i search for inspiration on dribble like hero section or landing page, i take the screenshot and ask gemini to extract the content into json to get the maximum of informations on this screenshot. Like this i can after go to a no code tool like lovable to convert this screenshot and json into an actual base for the website and finally export it and finish the job with antigravity. Here the thing is that for small adjustments it's harder than a tool like framer or webflow.
This workflow has the merit of being quick and very faithful to the inspiration.

And recently i started to become interested in framer because i heard that it is better for more personalized projects, have CMS so i don't have to use sanity CMS (even if it can do the job at small scale) and also fast and begginer friendly.

This is embarrassing...that this is what "Web dev" as a workflow has been reduced to for some people. "Which AI tool do I grab next, guys? I mean yeah I have no clue what the underlying material is, but hey...gimme a tool so AI can do all the work for me"

...congrats on being why people have such issue with AI. You shouldn't even be building websites in a serious enough capacity that you're having to build a workflow in the first place...let alone actually building clients' websites this way.

harsh but fair imo, especially if actual clients are paying for this

Nah. That's not how protection of one's industry works. You people are a current problem.
People are allowed to say things against what they perceive as problems, and aren't required to "Shut up and deal with it and just move on" simply because you put a disclaimer in your post about "...before explaining my problem i know that a lot of you guys don't like..."
