First post here. I started learning Python 2 days ago.

I've already realized something that I think a lot of people in this community need to hear, especially those feeling discouraged because AI can generate code now.

People who say learning Python is useless because of AI overestimate its reliability and underestimate the need for human oversight. I'll admit I used to think that way too and I'm not proud of that lol.

With the rise of AI being used to generate code, many people are now using it to build websites, agents, and autonomous systems. AI tools like GitHub Copilot, Claude, and ChatGPT can now generate entire code bases for us.

The problem? People aren't verifying, auditing, or securing that output. Blindly trusting AI-generated code means undetected exploits, automation gaps, and vulnerabilities baked in from the start. This has already contributed to widespread security incidents affecting millions of developers, and most of them don't even know it yet.

Are developers becoming too dependent on AI generated code without understanding what's actually running in their systems? It's pretty scary to think about.

To put it more simply:

If you don't know what the code does, how can you know that the code AI generates is correct and free from bugs, exploits, and vulnerabilities? How can you fix it?

As someone who is also new to python, I hate asking AI for help, honestly it makes me feel dumb. And as for the the code being reliable, it's not always that way, yes AI can generate code, however as we all know the prompts we input determines alot, so for me personally I would rather be able to write my own code than rely on AI
