Raw LLM Responses

> I hope up and coming programmers use it to learn rather than a crutch because it really knows a lot about the ins and outs of programming but not so much how to implement them (yet) As someone who has tried to learn programming on my own a number of times over the years, this is how I've been using it and it has helped for sure. I treat it sort of like a tutor, asking it for potential ways to implement something and then having a discussion about it. Sometimes I just don't understand how something works and I'll ask it to explain the code to me step by step. I don't just copy the code generally, unless I know exactly what it's doing and that's exactly how I want to write it. Instead, I'll have GPT's code in one window and use it as a reference while I rewrite the code to my own satisfaction in another window. This is all GPT-4, which is vastly more consistent than 3.5 at most of the things I've prompted it for. All that said, I *am* using it primarily for game dev related stuff, and it's not like I've produced a completed bug free and optimized project, so the results remain to be seen (and will depend more on me than GPT). I'm pretty pleased so far, though.
