You can add instructions to not comment, you can also have it explain what it does at every step, not everyone just doesn't care about learning. It can be a very effective teaching tool if you use it that way. ๐Ÿคท

AI is a terrible way to learn something. It will do something wrong, explain it incorrectly, and you will have no idea.

AI is only useful if you are able to spot and correct the mistakes it makes. Because it will make mistakes.

Very effective teaching tools already exist if you want to learn.

"You'll have no idea" until it doesn't work lmfao

Someone hasn't done enough debugging in their life. I wish the lesson be as painless as possible

I'm definitely still a noob but I've done hundreds of hours of debugging on code in the past few months, and my job for the past 8 years is basically to troubleshoot issues, though the past year I got to start doing devops/code work on the side.

Its fine though, I get why you guys are scared.

All that and you still think that "doesn't work" is the only problem that can happen?

When a product is so absolutely terrible that uncommented code is the best it can do...
