Good. There's a lot of non-programmers who are now bad ones and are using AI to make their ideas real. It's made programming way more accessible to people who would never learn before.
I got back into programming because I can ask an Ai my stupid questions I'm too dumb to google correctly. I haven't otherwise wrote code since college and kinda revived a long dead hobby. It removes a barrier to entry that I otherwise gave up on. Been working on a project to teach myself python the last few months, with Ai replacing the roll of google for the most part.
Copy-pasting Ai code still blows up in your face just as much as code you stole from stack overflow...
I wouldn't say you're dumb when it comes to Google. Their search is just a broken mess of dog shit now.
No...stack I can usually figure out from the context of questions what went wrong. AI will very confidently and eloquently give you a very subtle bullshit answer.
Can confirm. Using AI for coding for a couple of months now. There sure is a lot of copy and paste, trail and error, but without the assistance I would not have been able to enhance and customize code like that. Now I am some steps further and was even able to question the AI output, correct it, made it better. I am getting there: learning, optimizing, creating new stuff. It is fun. And when I compile the code, it runs. If not, I debug. Unthinkable for me a year ago.
