I find chatgpt good for this kind of simple GUI design tasks, you can just tell it to create a simple GUI incl drop downs etc. It won’t be perfect but removes a lot of the tedious work.

How do you maintain the generated code? Once you make changes to it, you can't regenerate it without losing the changes.
I just use it to create the initial layout and then if I need anything additional I just ask chatgpt to create it. You still have to know what you’re doing but I find that GUI code is mostly boilerplate code that is really tedious to create from scratch. ChatGPT is a 5x productivity boost.
How do you describe the overall layout to Chatgpt? individual components sounds simple.
How does it compare to using code assistants AIs?

I have used chatgpt a bit for coding tasks, and it is alright. Kind of like getting a not that smart student to do something, and repeatedly prodding them to do it right.
