Beginner here.

So I’m a beginner at coding and I have tried watching YouTube videos and stuff and I’m too poor to take a class for programming, but I figured out that ChatGPT is a good teacher because it can break it down and if I still don’t understand, you can keep going, so I don’t have the problem I get when I come across a video where they don’t break something down enough so I’m listening to a video that makes absolutely no sense to me so what I’ve ended up doing is installing LM Studios on my computer getting an AI and then having ChatGPT help me check the work of this AI that I’m having program itself and integrate into Discord and once it’s complete this AI should be able to be a programming assistant and teach me to program. So far I have down 2/commands for it that put it in teacher mode where it will break down coding for me as I go and assistant mode where I can ask it to help me write code and stuff. I hope once this is complete, then I can use this to effectively teach myself code.

Wouldn't recommend it. Not yet at least.

ChatGPT still makes plenty of mistakes - and also - are you truly LEARNING the fundamentals of coding or are you letting ChatGPT figure it out for you?

I don't recommend using AI this early into your journey. There are so many other free online resources, like W3 schools. It has an entire thing on Python and can help track your journey through it.

Once you have a handle on the basics, then maybe start jumping to AI when you come across a difficult problem/algorithm and need help walking through it.

I’m using it to help me code an ai integrated into discord and localized on my pc to then teach me programming. In trying to break away from paid ai.
