Hey everyone! I'm curious about the best way to learn coding with the help of AI. If I ask an AI to generate a function for me and then I type it out instead of copying and pasting, is it okay to then ask the AI what the code does and for an explanation? Is this a good practice for learning, or are there potential downsides to this approach?

Honestly, asking AI for help is fine, but if your goal is to learn programming, you might be missing out. It's definitely allowed, but it's not a great idea for learning. You won't grasp the concepts as well if you rely too much on AI to explain things to you.
I think a better approach is to modify the code you get from AI. Tweak it a bit to see how those changes affect its behavior. This experimentation can really help solidify your understanding!
Thanks for the tip!
