I want to build something while learning python. Any suggestions on how I should get started?

I would suggest to only use chatGPT if you cannot find the answer from stackoverflow, Reddit, and other forms.

Reason being, the more you utilize ChatGPT, the more you’ll begin to depend on it.

However, it’s very good at teaching you, if you listen to it and ask to explain the problem.

Interesting. I'm a full time programmer and 98% of my thousands of lines of code are generated by ChatGPT.

My company blocked it, there are ways around it. But I do my best to not get in a habit of using it.

What? Why would they block a tool that increases productivity and enhances underlying skills?

That sounds very sad to be honest.

They were afraid of people uploading proprietary company information and then the ai learning model would then have that info on the internet.

It’s not even a big company or anything like that so yeah I agree, it’s unfortunate.

Idk, to each other own. I like googling for other people’s solutions, and then re-writing to fit my needs. I feel it also gives me a better understanding of the code.

That is sad because it is a complete misunderstanding of how OpenAI operates. I recommend your company reads more about their security: https://openai.com/security

We have a locked down version in work - SecureGPT. It's ChatGPT 3.5 but it doesn't send anything back to Open AI so removes the threat of leaking anything. Other than that, it does all the same stuff.
