Gen AI helps people write code by using powerful technology called large language models (LLMs) and natural language processing (NLP). These systems are trained on large amounts of open-source code from the internet, so they’ve “learned” how code is written in many programming languages.
When you give the AI a plain English prompt—like "make a game that plays guitar"—it can understand what you mean and generate the code to do it. AI tools can help you code faster, fix simple mistakes, and even turn your ideas into working code just by typing in plain language.
Sometimes the code it gives isn’t right, and if you rely on it too much, you might not really learn how to code. It might even copy someone else’s work. Plus, if the code has hidden problems, it could open the door to hackers—so you’ve gotta be careful.
