Comment on Why are people seemingly against AI chatbots aiding in writing code?

As someone who just delved into a related but unfamiliar language for a small project, it was relatively correct and easy to use.
There were a few times it got itself into a weird “loop” where it insisted on doing things in a ridiculous way, but prior knowledge of programming was enough for me to reword and “suggest” different, simpler, solutions.
Would I have ever got to the end of that project without knowledge of programming and my suggestions? Likely, but it would have taken a long time and been worse off code.
The irony is, without help from copilot, I’d have taken at least three times as long.
