AI-assisted 1-minute Webpage Creation

I learned to build websites before the AI era. I had to write my own tedious HTML and CSS files on my own. I am an artsy person and I was so obsessed with designing and colouring. I pretty much spent 80% of the time moving elements around, redesigning and tweaking. This is fun but in fact it is so time consuming. It kinda reminds me of the pixel drawing experience when I played Animal Crossing. Can you imagine using a Joy-Con doing pixel art and drawing an entire swimming pool for 5 hours? This is pretty much what it was like for me to construct and maintain my webpage.

And then there came ChatGPT and later Gemini, Cursor, and Codex. It totally changed the way we build websites. People no longer need to take care of the design, or in general, the frontend part of everything. This includes the CSS part of the website design, the GUI design for any software.

This is the story going around and there is a real hype about the frontend power of AI. I got to realize that it is a real thing when I was trying to help a friend with building her personal website. A short prompt in 1 minute and a couple of iterations and a super fancy liquid-glass-like website just popped up. I was shocked how good-looking it could be and how fast it was created. I have to say that 5 years of experience in webpage designing is nowhere close to this AI's capability.

Because of this, I didn't even bother doing any frontend job by myself. AI is straight up better than you, and faster.

Hi cursor, I would like to generate a personal website where I can showcase my research results and teaching experience. You don't have to generate everything at a time. But would be good to have an index.html page, an about.html page, and so on. Put all the styling design in a single css file. .JS file if needed.
