> and you'll never be able to escape it. Slow down, cowboy. Getting a LLM to generate code for you that is immediately useful and doesn't require you to think too hard about it can stunt learning, sure, but even just reading it and slowly getting familiar with how the code works and how it relates to your original task is helpful. I learned programming by looking at examples of code that did similar things to what I wanted, re-typing it, and modifying it a bit to suit my needs. From that point of view it's not that different. I've seen a couple of cases first hand of people with no prior experience with programming learn a bit by asking ChatGPT to automate some web scraping tasks or spreadsheet manipulation. > You + limited knowledge of Python + ChatGPT << someone + good knowledge of Python + ChatGPT. Substract ChatGPT from both sides and you have a rather obvious statement. > Respectfully but that's a bit like saying you don't need to learn how to ride a bicycle because you can use a pair of safety wheels. How did you learn to ride a bicycle?
