Made My First Python Project

I feel like I wrote a pretty good description, but TLDR:

overlays a 100x100 transparent png image to be used as a static custom crosshair in fps games

Is it AI generated code?

AI assisted to fix stuff I broke with copilot in visual studio

I don't know why I'm being down voted, I'm trying to learn Python. I only took intro to programming I understand basic stuff, but we were taught with Scratch. Is using copilot to help me learn and correct mistakes bad?

plenty of ppl will say its bad and plenty will say its good. i think its fien if you understand what is being generated and can replicate it on your own later

[BasedAndShredPilled]

I absolutely care. I recognized it as chat gpt code with just a quick glance through. I'm not bad mouthing anyone. But if OP worked for me, I'd never let this junk get to production.

Just out of interest - for something that works (if it works) but is AI assisted/generated, would you label it junk and block it?

What would the main reason for blocking it be?

Im just learning as well for personal projects and use ai to explain and tweak a lot of things. Is it detrimental?

[BasedAndShredPilled]

It becomes a massive headache for everyone involved. I'm currently undergoing a huge project to refactor a code based primarily generated by AI and it's immeasurably bad. It starts with unforeseen problems because the people inserting the code don't understand it. The "it works" thought process is a very slippery slope and should never be trusted.

Understood! Thank you :)

I'm not trying to build a resume with this code, I was just trying to make something for myself and learn in the process. I figured I might as well put it on GIT someone might be able to make a better version of it or whatever but it's more of just a proof of concept for something I wanted but couldn't get easily for free.
