I'm a complete beginner diving into PowerShell lately, particularly for packaging an app using Intune at work. I had an experience where AI wrote a script for me, and it actually worked! This got me thinking about the usefulness of PowerShell, but I'm also concerned. With AI improving so much, what's the best way to learn PowerShell while also leveraging AI? I have this nagging thought: if AI can do the work for me, do I really need to learn? But I understand that if something goes wrong with a script I don't know, I won't be able to fix it. Starting to learn from scratch feels daunting with such powerful tools available. What should I do?

Don't hesitate to utilize AI! Just remember, it's more than just a tool; you can ask it questions like, "Can you break this down for me?" or "What does this part of the code mean?" Engage with it! AI can help you by offering a structured learning plan or explaining concepts. Plus, Microsoft has free training available, which could help you build a strong foundation.
It's critical to actually learn how to write code yourself. If a poorly-written script goes into production, it could really mess things up, and your job might be at risk. Just make sure you understand what the code does before you run it.
Totally agree! If you don't get the fundamentals down, you're just setting yourself up for failure.
