This site is mirrored both through the gemini protocol and the web through HTTP/HTTPs. My workflow involves writing the pages natively as gemtext, then having Gem2Web create a HTML formatted copy inside my web page server path. My Web page server is Apache2 and my gemini site server is Agate. You may view this site either through a regular web browser or on a gemini client natively.
I got into gemini and the small net protocols a few years ago along with public unix servers/tildes. Its incredibly easy to format in gemtext as a human writing a text based page on the fly. This allows me to focus on the writing aspect instead of the formatting aspect. Three header levels, blockquotes, list, and preformatted text, do an incredible amount of heavy lifting for conveying the essence of a site page. At the end of the day you're reading text on a screen.
Both gemtext as a format and the toolchain I use to format it into html, is incredibly simple. As a result, my web pages are basic looking. I like the minimalistic aesthetic so this is fine with me. I believe that sites are best when they focus on the substance and content, not looking fancy. Thats not to say CSS and advanced scripting is bad when done right. For example I plan to add atkinson hyperlegible text as the default font for this site. Its just not something I want to focus too much on. Simplicity and minimalism is a style on its on IMO.
NO. Every byte written on here was written and edited by human hands with a fleshy biological neural network. If I ever use my local model for published site page content I will make sure to explicitly label its usage as such and probably host on a seperate subfile/subdomain from my regular work just to cleanly seperate human made stuff from the sloppo.
