You ask the computer for something simple.
And instead of a perfectly reasonable cup of tea, you get… a lukewarm smoothie in a soup bowl with a garnish of CSS errors.
That is sometimes what it feels like to ask AI for “a quick widget.”
You might give it what sounds like an easy request:
“Make me a homepage widget that shows recent discussions.”
Seems simple enough, right?
But without context, the AI has to guess. It may guess the wrong framework, invent some fun API endpoints, use unsupported code patterns, skip accessibility, forget mobile layouts, or hand you three tiny code snippets that are technically “helpful” but impossible for a non-developer to use.
