I used AI to fix CSS in my blog, but not the way you think…and you should totally try it.
I just asked AI to watch my screen and it made the grid glitch vanished.
Google AI Studio
Only one tool currently allows you to share your screen or a window. You can ask AI to look at what you’re doing. You can also talk to it about it. It’s a game changer.
It’s the Stream feature on Google AI Studio. Specifically the Screen Sharing feature. I had one of those visual bugs that are just too hard to explain to an LLM.

I was using the Customizing Additional CSS in WordPress and I needed to figure out which elements to override. Some weird stuff going on with the grid spacing. I could have found it myself. However, it seemed easier to let the AI take a look at my page. Having a natural conversation with AI could provide the help I needed.
After turning it on, you can just ask it to look at what you’re doing, point to the layout problem and it can see the Styles inspector, the HTML elements and just tell you which styles to modify
If it’s not getting something right, you can direct it to look at things with your mouse pointer. But it’s nice that it can read the HTML, the CSS and finally it found the error for me.
This is the future of assistance. The tools like ChatGPT haven’t caught up to this. I think it’s more an issue of cost rather than capabilities. Video, of course, is much more resource intensive than text, so the servers would melt if this was turned on.
At the same time, this is going to dramatically
