This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I have no issue using an AI bot to help write code, but from personal experience, you have to at least have a basic understanding of how to do what you're trying to do, otherwise you won't be able to fix the code your AI bot gave you. I've tried using a bot to just write entire programs for me, it never works out of me. I always have to go back and update and fix what it gave me so I actually have a working product in the end but I'm also only doing scripting so that might make it easier to get by with a bot.

I think it's my gamer experience talking, but once I realized games were more enjoyable without cheats, it opened my eyes. I think I might be going through the same with my coding adventures. It feels more...rewarding to make the code work after trying and trying until it's all good.
