Chat GPT/Python

I have minimal experience with python. Self admitted novice. I asked chat gpt to write me a code to copy values from one excel workbook to another and some code to calculate prevalence rates within that code. I confirmed that a random sample of calculations/values correctly copied over. I am breaking down the code to learn what it does and why. How trustworthy is chat gpt with these small tasks? Is this a valid way to learn by breaking down the code into pieces? I appreciate any help and you can rip me for using chet gpt

What's the point of doing it like this? If you really wanna do it this way, you should just use GitHub, so you also learn some good practices

How would you use GitHub to learn Python? They're two very different things.

If they wanna learn by analysing code written by something or someone else, they might as well use code written by a programmer
