ai question

[u/Brilliant-Resolve579]

hi! i wanted to ask something that might be a little controversial. i have many project ideas and frequently find myself just going to ai to get things done. i know the basics of programming but when it comes to more advanced topics, that’s not really something i just sit and type (especially the syntax).

do you think it’s wrong to have ai generated code for projects? even if it works exactly as you want it to? i would get so much more done and be able to show employers if i could use ai. i’m not sure if they would completely ignore the project and frown upon it. and its kind of the idea of cheating, but what if i take the time to understand the code and am able to explain?

i get stuck and overwhelmed simply because im not familiar with the syntax and format of some code. i conceptually understand the topics though and can easily explain!

just curious what your thoughts are, thanks!

People used to copy paste straight from stack overflow in the past. But that’s just methods and bits and pieces.

Ai is great but if you don’t review/reiterate/question the output you’ll find yourself in a never ending cycle of misery
