AI coding is great if you already understand coding. It significantly speeds my development up, but I also know how to do it in pieces and my prompts are basically pseudocode. It's not much different than working with a development team.
Now if you know fuck all about coding, you can eventually get something up that runs by blindly pasting generated code in, but good luck fixing it later if the AI hallucinates its way into a corner.
those fluent in the language and have it do most of your bitchwork and you can yell at it on the fly when the code doesn't pass the eye test.
script kiddies who know enough to install languages and environments and hit run. They no longer have to go ask the same fucking questions on stack overflow anymore. Limited to scripts rather than projects.
everyone should strive to be at least a script kiddy in 2025, it's like having a digital swiss army knife.
What's a good way to reach script kiddy level? How long does it take? I never got into coding, did a course in highschool forever ago but I just fucked around on online all semester. We were learning an outdated code (can't remember the name) and my teacher literally didn't know it,he was also a pedo freak (true story), so I didn't really give it a chance.
Ironically, start with something like ChatGPT, but ask the right questions. Start with something like python, which is a very multi use language and not too hard to pick up. Use AI to teach you, not just copy paste code in.
Are you talking about hacking? Or just running scripts? I'm talking about running scripts to make your life easier when you have a need for it without knowing how to actually code.
And all it takes for that is to watch a youtube video on how to install python, set PATH, and install visual studio.
Open VS Code, ask AI to write you a py script, paste script (you will need to install some packages, AI will tell you) hit run/save it as a .py file and run it thru cmd.
Try snake or some stupid shit. Once it works, tell AI to modify it and run it again. like what the rebuildingmyself says but you'll more or less learn thru osmosis over time just get comfortable with the tools and don't bother lifting a finger coding unless you feel like it.
Once you've done that you pretty much can have it write whatever tools you need when you need it.
Doesn't have to be python, it's just easy to start with.
I feel the same way about design. Yeah, you can try to design a place with it, but if you don't know how to anyway, it's not going to work. The AI is a tool.

AI coding is great for two tiers of coders:
