   I generally don't know my ass from my elbow when it comes to programming, but today I had an AI write a simple bash script for me, and it was actually really helpful as a learning tool. I generally have low patience for learning groundwork shit, and want to jump straight to some specific thing I want to accomplish here and now. Having an AI write the script for me, I get an object example of something I want done, which I can then study and observe its moving parts... editing it where necessary to fix shit that doesn't quite fit and making it work smoothly.

   I know asking an AI to write shit for you is looked down on as a crutch, but for a low-level beginner if used correctly its actually a halfway decent learning tool.

     @japananon yep, as long as you don't trust it and you verify, it's very helpful.

     @japananon people who look down on it are delusional. It can give even experience devs a huge productivity boost. Most people don't know how to use it or are against it on principle so don't even look into it.

     @lain @japananon I had to work with it seriously for a little while before I "got it". Someone disinclined to give it a fair shot is never going to get it.

     @sun @japananon yeah, depending on how you use it, it can seem not very useful, but i swear somehow everyone i talk to supposedly does some super special thing that nobody has ever even thought about doing so AI can't help.
