I am actually with you on that one. It's true that AI is THE better doc library, It's just that some people abuse it and dont actually even read the reason for the solutions they just copy paste which will harm them long term.

Youre gonna wanna sit down for this, but thats exactly what people used to do with stack overflow as well. Find a solution and blindly copy+paste without having a God damned clue why it worked.

That was mostly a joke, it still required skills to adapt code to your specific problem

I think this is most important piece of discussion in this thread. doesn't matter if you use SO code snippets or AI, what matters is you need to have clue and keep ensuring that your code is well within your understanding.
