AI has been a hot topic for discussion in recent years, and especially recent months. Some people are opposed to the increased reliance on AI to do things like schoolwork, but did you know that AI can actually be used to write HTML and CSS?

What is AI?

To explain, I asked the AI content generator in WordPress to tell me. It said, “Artificial Intelligence is a groundbreaking technology that mimics human intelligence to perform tasks and solve problems. It encompasses a range of applications, from voice recognition systems to advanced data analysis, enabling machines to learn from experience and adapt to new information. AI is revolutionizing how we interact with technology, making processes more efficient and personalized. As we delve deeper into the capabilities of AI, we find ourselves at the forefront of a new era where innovation knows no bounds, and the synergy between human intuition and machine learning creates endless possibilities”.

What is HTML and CSS?

These names might just look like random letters smashed together, but they are actually both programming languages! HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language, and it is used to develop the content and structure of a webpage. CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets, and it is used to develop the look and feel of a webpage.

So How Can AI Help you Code?

AI can analyze code and provide feedback, suggest changes based on what you want, and write whole sets of code for you to increase your productivity. See an example below of Copilot, an AI platform by Microsoft being used to quickly develop code that would take a while to learn how to do from scratch.

Copilot chat box where author asked AI to show them the code for a website with a rainbow background and big text that says "welcome to my page"

Now see what this code looks like when it is put into an HTML editor for a webpage…

Outcome of AI coding test. Background is a gradient rainbow with big white text in the center that says "welcome to my page"
