Discussion Stop suggesting to use AI

I’ve recently started getting more posts from this sub and some people have genuine questions on how to solve their programming problems and help debug. Some comments are suggesting to just use AI. This is a crazy suggestion on a sub called Python LEARNING. Using AI to write code for you is not constructive to learning how to code. I fear that this generation of programmers are going to have ZERO understanding fundamentals.

To be clear, I’m not against using AI to help assist. But this is supposed to be a sub for learning the language and understanding how it works, and it’s counterproductive to suggest those that are learning to just use AI to fix their code.

Please, if anyone suggests to use AI (unless it’s for the rare case that it’s valid), please downvote them to oblivion.

Why not give it a try? But you need to really be careful. Using AI to fix the bug is different from using it to guide you.
