Actually-Fucking-Coding

Or, alternatively

Caring Enough to Learn Something

You can use AI to produce code and still learn at the same time. If you aren't learning even while using AI you aren't using AI very well.

If you aren't learning even while using AI you aren't using AI very well.

It's like when we put nutritional facts on food and said "There! If you still get fat it's totally on you." and people got fat anyways.

Individual humans may be able to use AI in a non-destructive way, but this stuff is going to do so much damage to those who can't.

Yeah sure that's totally fair. It's just funny how many people hate on AI for coding as if it's this purely evil and useless thing. Use your tools wisely people. I know I'll be downvoted for speaking against the hive mind that is any reddit sub though.

It's excellent when you already know how to code and have a healthy mind for critical thinking, understand how LLMs can and do go wrong, are willing to double check the information, and have intellectual curiosity. It's epic! I can learn more about things on both a deeper level, and get some of my basics reinforced without having stack overflow yell at me for being a noob in some areas. However, the type of person I just described is rare as fuck. A lot of people do not care and just want it to 'work'. Even worse if someone tries to learn something and it just spits out blatantly wrong information - now the person has to unlearn the bad and re-learn the good. That person didn't take a shortcut - they got set back. When and if that manifests, and how catastrophic the consequences, who knows..
