With PiHole, you can block it from your network. That's pretty cool.
I use it to add comments to code I don't understand.
I choose to interpret this as you having chatgpt add incomprehensible comments just to make code more confusing
Or, even worse, adding wrong comments to the code
It codes pretty well for what I need. It helped me write a program for my esp32 to fill out a Google form to populate a Google sheet with temperature humidity and barometric pressure.
Its also helpful me with a visual basic program that checks on 3 temp/humidity sensors in my home. Plots it on a graph and turns on my led lights to a blue and white animation if the temperature falls below the trigger temp. This warns me if it's close to freezing in my garage. I'm doing my best and trying hard to learn.. Ai has been fundamental in me avoiding hours of googling because I don't quite understand the syntax yet.
Here's the program in action let me know what you think. It's the first real program I've made. https://youtu.be/T7RhQKH-b70?si=fTgq4_D2w33rGM_2
I'm terrified for our next junior dev hire if this is common among beginners now lol
So far it has added great comments. It's also great for helping me learn syntax.
How would you know? You don't actually understand the code. It could be making shit up, and you'd never have any idea
Seriously dude, if you run into code you don't understand, take the time to actually understand it, or else you'll never actually improve
If you do this at your job, get written permission to paste internal code into another company's data collection engine.
Doesn't copilot do this? I'm just learning now but it's so much easier to code even with Bing Ai chat it helps me understand error messages and all sorts of stuff. What do professionals use?
