I have found a different method of using an AI when I'm making a hobby project. I have convinced it to only give me enough information about a topic such that I can have a chance at intuiting the rest. When I get stuck, I ask it specific questions about what I'm trying to code, or standard ways of getting around errors I'm encountering or making particular constructs work. We have long conversations about the goal I'm after and what might be involved in achieving it.
I don't use any code from the AI, and I don't give it code to look at, other than as something I have completed in the past. I'm not asking for code review, and I'm not asking it to optimize things for me. This works quite well for me. I learn more, and I keep doing what I consider the fun stuff.
It is similar to asking the AI for tricks on getting through a particularly harsh level in a video game, or how to get better at certain actions when playing. I'm not asking the AI to play the game, that's the fun part. I'm asking it how I can get better at it myself.
Also, as an early gen-Xer, I don't need anyone validating my enjoyment of something, thanks. I'll enjoy it whether the author likes it or not.
