Idk man. I just used it the other day for recalling some regex syntax and it was a bit helpful. However, if you use it to help you generate the regex prompt, it won’t do that successfully. However, it can break down the regex and explain it to you.
Ofc you all can say “just read the damn manual”, sure I could do that too, but asking an generative a.i to explain a script can also be as effective.
You are being unnecessarily pedantic. “A person can be wrong therefore I will get my information from a random words generator” is exactly the attitude we need to avoid.
A teacher can be mistaken, yes. But when they start lying on purpose, they stop being a teacher. When they don’t know the difference between the truth and a lie, they never were.
No, obviously not. You don’t actually learn if you get misinformation, it’s actually the opposite of learning.
But thankfully you don’t have to chose between those two options.
As I was learning regex I was wondering why the * doesn’t act like a wildcard and why I had to use .* instead. That doesn’t make me lose my critical thinking skills. That was wondering what’s wrong with the way I’m using this character.

Hey, just letting you know getting the answers you want after getting a whole lot of answers you dont want is pretty much how everyone learns.
People generally don’t learn from an unreliable teacher.
Literally everyone learns from unreliable teachers, the question is just how reliable.

I’d rather learn from slightly unreliable teachers than teachers who belittle me for asking questions.

yes, exactly. You lose your critical thinking skills
