While AI can generate content, “art,” and videos to various degrees of quality, it is quite a helpful tool when needing to fix up or figure out how to code something for a website. While you can’t just have it code an entire website (nor would you want it to…), you could use it as a helpful starting point. It can help you figure out issues in your code and even help you start making complex things such as a hamburger menu. It won’t do the work for you, and you still need an understanding of code to utilize AI as a tool for coding.
When designing my personal portfolio website, I made a timeline that spans years of my work. I had made the code to make the timeline functional, but it would have been tedious to type out each code for each separate project. So I utilized ChatGPT and asked it to generate the rest of the code; that way, I wouldn’t have to go through hours of tedious code copying and writing. While I’ll need to go and put in the actual content for each project, I saved myself a lot of time by having ChatGPT do what I was already planning on doing myself.
There were many issues I encountered with my code, such as the functionality of my hamburger menu breaking. ChatGPT is a great tool for trying to figure out any issues with your code you may have and different approaches for fixing them. It’s also a great tool for organizing your code too! It won’t make your site for you, but it will save you time in the long run. Use it wisely and don’t rely on it heavily!
