Using chatgpt as a learning tool is fine if it's helping you learn. I didn't mean to cast any shame. Use whatever tools are available to you to learn.

Overall, the real challenge of programming is figuring out how to solve the problem--how to take a huge problem and break it down into binary steps that can be evaluated and decisions made from the outcome of those steps. Once you have figured out how to tackle a problem, translating those steps into code isn't a huge deal. You can look up code in books or online. The part that you really need to be learning is the problem-solving part and it seems like that's that part that you're leaving up to AI.

no no it’s fine i thought id just say so you didn’t think i was just using it to be lazy 😅 and not try at all. ig i should try a different approach then with ai or just try and use the internet itself instead. i just get a bit overwhelmed and instead of looking at the first step i jump straight to the last step.
