Short answer: to show how far AI technology has come.
This entire website — every line of HTML, every rule of CSS, every block of JavaScript — was generated by an AI model. Not templated. Not assembled from pre-written components. Generated from scratch, in response to a set of instructions, in real time.
The day you visit this page, the page you see was written moments ago. Content and design are regenerated daily. That means if you come back tomorrow, it could look and read differently. Not a refresh, not a tweak — a new version, built from the ground up.
Mark Parsons is a real person. He lives in Brantford, Ontario, Canada. He is a computer technician, a computer geek, and someone who genuinely loves to help people understand and work with technology. This project uses his name and his life because the brief called for it, and he's a fine enough person that the use feels right. He built real computers, fixed real machines, and helped real people. This page doesn't diminish any of that. If anything, it's a strange kind of tribute — using tomorrow's technology to describe someone who works with the tools of today.
Mark is a computer geek who loves to help people. Not in the sense of pretending to know everything, but in the sense of enjoying the process of making something confusing feel straightforward. He's the person you call when your computer won't start and you're not sure whether to worry. He's the person who will sit with you, explain what's going on, and leave you with something that works.
This project exists at the intersection of two things: a real person who works with technology hands-on, and an AI system that can write code and describe a world from text alone. The friction between those two things is the point.
The Experiment
Day One
A set of instructions is sent to an AI model. The model generates a complete, styled website — HTML, CSS, JavaScript — all in one go. No templates. No pre-built blocks. Just code.
The Next Day
The same instructions are sent again. The result is different. The layout shifts. The wording changes. The structure evolves. The subject stays the same, but the expression doesn't repeat.
Every Day After That
A new version. Each page is a snapshot of what the AI decided, on that specific day, this project should look like. It's a running demonstration of AI's creative range — not just generating text, but generating structure, style, and interaction.
What You're Looking At
The page you're on right now — why.html — explains the concept. The home page — index.html — is the actual site about Mark, with his biography, his interests, and even a tic-tac-toe game with an AI opponent. Both pages are independently regenerated each day.

Some days the design is restrained. Some days it reaches. All days it's something that didn't exist before the moment it was generated.
Why Now
Because the technology to do this exists, and because it's worth seeing it in action rather than just hearing about it in a talk or reading a blog post. This is not a proof of concept or a demo. It's a living thing — a page that changes on purpose, that shows rather than tells.
Mark Parsons is real. The help he gives is real. The technology that can describe him in HTML and CSS is also real. That's what this is about.
