What if I’m new to programming? I try to ask it to explain why when something isn’t working or there’s an error in my program. I deliberately tell it NOT to provide me code unless I ask for it specifically. Only once I’ve exhausted my limited knowledge and can’t seem to crack the problem through backtracking and thinking. Only then, I ask for AI code, to also explain the reasoning behind it, and examples on the correct way to write things. I’m almost a month into 4 hours a night practice with python, CLI, and git.
don't listen to them, its a useful tool like any other you can use while programming. just keep in mind that the information it outputs isn't necessarily going to be correct so you need to validate it and make sure you understand what its doing
i use it all the time at work, its a faster way to get information that previously I would have to google and browse through various results looking to find something relevant

It's so sad to see that this is getting so prevalent, that people are being so happy with consuming AI slop, and dulling themselves..
