If I wanted to learn to code using AI, where would I start.
Starting from zero coding knowledge.
Discussion
AI produces garbage code. I wouldn't advise you to start from there with zero knowledge
AI produces garbage code if you don’t know how to prompt well, and if you unreasonably expect not to have to debug at all.
You can always spend time learning how to code instead of writing a prompt. And still, even with proper prompts the results are unsophisticated garbage
Now tell me you have never copied and pasted from stackoverflow.
Actually, real programmers only code in assembly, anything else is unsophisticated garbage
try to ask the AI to solve very simple tasks in the programming language you want to learn. ChatGPT usually explain what the code does,
anyway I'm not sure this is a good way to learn programming. Maybe you'll get ro write code but your knowledge will be very superficial.
if you want to get serious about it, once started, I'd suggest you to buy some book and get a more deep knowledge. (but this is just my 2 SATs)
Literally ask ai to teach you from 0 in multiple lessons. Start with Python, it's easier and it's used world wide for a bunch of stuff.
Ask it to start from scratch, it will follow you step by step.
my experience is as soon as your program becomes more complex chatgpt gjves you code that does not work without debugging. so better learn coding the normal way. you need to know it anyway.
Maybe try asking chat got where to start?
Why do you want to code?
Learning to code is easy, learning to code well is hard.
- Use GPT4 https://chat.openai.com/
- Learn javascript and html
- Make your first web page
- Learn git and github
- Save your page there
- Keep asking chatGPT for ideas
- Master this and get faster at it
These basic technologies can take you a long way. In fact you may never need anything more other than some helper scripts.
Great ideas, thank you!
