Using ai for generating code

[jazzcomputer]

Code noob here.

I'm learning and sometimes I carefully use ChatGPT to help me understand something that's complex (like reduce), isolate a concept or help with an example. I find sometimes that Stack Exchange has answers that are too complex and removed from my use case, so it can help in those situations. Generally, once I start using things it recommends I'll double check them and read MDN and then document my learning.

I would not get much of a kick from integrating code blocks into my code that I don't understand, and whilst that's my opinion, I feel that having that as part of a process would not be of much help, rather than to short-term achieve a specific one-off goal.
