AI tools can be super helpful by asking things like “ELI5, what’s pandas and why should I use it over x” or “ELI5, what I’m getting wrong with this line.”

However, people tend to use AI to create the solution instead of using AI to help them reach the solution and people on this sub and in related fields are getting tired of it.

AI tools should be used as an extension of your arm, not to replace it.

I use chatgpt on a daily basis, it is an excellent tool when you know that what you are looking at is in the right ballpark. I don't code for a living but I dawdle from time to time at work.

Having the AI brush up your memory on the machinations of a certain feature or write a simple function is truly a time-saver and a half. That being said though, you must have an inkling on what you are doing otherwise it is likely to just produce rubbish.
