Yeah I’ve used it for that and it use useful. But it’s kind of like listening to a math audiobook vs working out math problems. I still need to work out the math problems to really understand what’s going on.

I’m also nervous about the inevitable cognitive decline of relying on AI to explain everything to me.

I don't see it that way.

I'm solving the math problem, but after coming with a solution I start asking for alternative approaches or formulas I don't even know about.

In fact, calculus is full of suck gotchas tricks or formulas, think of integrals or limits. Took who found those decades/centuries to find them.

It's not a black/white divide.

		You added several paragraphs after I responded, but I never said it was black and white. I said it wasn’t sufficient. By which I mean you still need to read the code, and that making changes to the code is even more beneficial for understanding.
