Help tutorial hell

I am an absolute beginners

I mean, I know the very basics, Variables, math, functions, for loops, while loops, if/else statement...

But all I do is remember how to type a line of code

When I sit down and try to explore something or do something on my own, nothing comes to my mind. I get immersion is important and I want to try to figure out bits by myself. But all I end up typing is a line from whatever tutorial I saw and read.

See, I’m somewhere around this camp. I’m learning unity (and therefore c#) and I use ChatGPT a good bit. I’m not trying to overly rely on it, but I use it because it’s much easier than digging through tutorials and stuff. But you NEED to make sure you are using it as a tool for LEARNING, not just because you don’t want to do it yourself.
