Isn't the whole point to learn and challenge yourself? If you just wanted to render a 3-dimensional scene there are already hundreds of open source raytracers on github.

Asking chatgpt to "guide" you through the process is a strange middle-ground between making your own project and using somebody else's in which nothing new is created and nothing new is learned.

Ridiculous. If you go through this process with ChatGPT and don't learn anything, that's all on you.

Given the lack of a CS professor looking over your shoulder, what's more powerful than a textbook that you can hold a conversation with?

		>If you go through this process with ChatGPT and don't learn anything, that's all on you. I actually agree with this although I don't think I'm interpreting it the way you intended. >Given the lack of a CS professor looking over your shoulder That's definitely not how school projects work. The professor answers questions (sometimes) and he ruins your GPA when you get things wrong. He does not guide you throughout everything you do as he "looks over your shoulder".

		A textbook that you can NOT hold a conversation with and must investigate all problems by yourself, this is the way I've learned programming when books were made of paper and compilers were distributed with CDs.
