If we think AI would not do awesome code, then we're ignoring the achievements of many of the AI bots. I saw an LOL bot outperform lots of world class videogamers. What makes you think a bot will not outperform any HTML/CSS frontend dev.

coding is more of an art than science, every projects has different ways how the html and css is set up, how do you onboard the AI? It is a lot of surface to cover, the AI we have today is not able to outperform a frontend dev, frontend is harder than playing a game, a lot more possibilities
There is a huge difference between these two scenarios. LOL has a very clear objective function and feedback. Code quality is a metric that is hard to make precise, even humans have trouble with it.
Right now, context. The ai will outperform us.

But it currently lacks a lot of data to do so. A mock up is only a small part of the data and feedback loop you need to create a ui.

And then layer in techniques for performance and accessibility best practices. Those are complexity modifiers beyond just slinging code out of an AI.
