Great idea 😄 - that makes for a meta blog post that is both honest and funny. Here's a suggestion for your article:

3.1 AI and coding – a symbiosis?

09.08.2025

I am currently writing this article about ‘AI and coding’. Fun fact: it is being written by AI itself. It may sound like a paradoxical joke at first, but I am serious. Because that is exactly how my website works: the entire technical part – from code and structures to small helper functions – comes from AI.
And yet: the ideas, the concept and the approval are entirely up to me. I define what I want, and I decide when the code is truly ‘perfect’.

What AI brings to coding
• Speed: Tasks that used to take hours of reading documentation can now be completed in minutes.
• Accuracy (theoretical): AI knows the standards, common patterns and syntax, which means fewer trivial typos occur.
• Brainstorming: Often, even a rough idea is enough for AI to come up with suggestions that you might never have considered otherwise.

What AI cannot (yet) do when coding
• Replacing vision: AI can write code – but it doesn't know why it's being written.
• Meeting taste: Whether a button has ‘enough space’ or the layout is ‘attractive’ is still up to me.
• Taking responsibility: Ultimately, responsibility for functionality, safety and meaning always lies with me, not AI.

My working method
For my website (including this blog), it looks like this:
1. I have the ideas.
2. I tell the AI how I want it.
3. It writes the code.
4. I review, modify, reject or approve.
It's almost like teamwork: the AI is the hard-working technician, I'm the architect.

Conclusion
AI and coding are not competitors, but rather complementary. AI can generate, test, and modify code, but creative control remains with humans. And perhaps that is for the best: I can save hours of work on syntax and focus fully on what really matters – ideas and concepts. Incidentally, the fact that this blog post was written by AI makes it even more ironic.

👉 Would you like me to package the article in a nice HTML blog layout so that you can immediately incorporate it into your portal?
