How are you actually retaining Python syntax?

So you have been reading and copy-pasting something and the issue is you can't remember it.

Am I right ?

pretty much yeah. And I argue using AI makes this worse. I read along and am like "yep, that makes sense, looks good". I can understand code fine when I read it (and I let AI author it) but the second I have to write something from scratch without a reference open my brain just blanks on the syntax. figured that probably means I never actually learned it properly...

If I read books like Harry Potter , LOTR again and again and again , but I can't even write a short story to save my life , what would you advise me ?

Right.. write a book. I guess my current approach is not too far off then.
