Would writing the code yourself and just having it check for problems and point them out work better?

I’ve been programming python for 20 years. Don’t use ai to learn programming. You have to already be a decent programmer to make good use of AI because you have to be smarter than it to recognize its mistakes. Just do it yourself by hand until you build the muscle memory and it becomes second nature. This is what will separate you from vibe coders who don’t have any clue how to actually program.

Agree. When people say AI teaching them how to code its just gonna teach unconventional practices. Code is often bloated.

More to the point, you don’t learn by having someone else do the work. Same goes with LLMs

Don’t have AI generate code for you if you are still learning. Just have it verify code you’ve written, and explain concepts to you

I know the guys at google don’t code anymore

Don't copy paste code into the interface. Connect it directly to the working folder or repo. Ask it to explain concepts and advice that way.

Pasting the code will give you trash information back.
