ive been using ai for awhile to like describe certain parts of this patrick gun i was concocting

what ive been doing is trying to do like a part alone after it explains whats needed

and then after that i give it what i tried and ask if this would work

now because i am like a dimwit all of the times i tried giving it my code except for once, it was all incorrect

but it would give me a new block of code off of my old one and break down whats happening in every line

and then once i like "studied" the code it gave me
i would put my own comments in my code off of what i understood
(im typing this while walking to the educational institution so i dont got a ss)

so far its been helping me but i dont know if this is a bad practice or something

but yeah if this is bad and i should stop or if i should change the way i use it, that info would be appreciated my folknem

id like to know, is scripting for you experienced folknem more like just memorizing what everything does and reusing it?

To ask questions? No. To generate code? Yeah it is bad

#

AI is lowk useless when you want to learn

#

It even has a bad impact on your learning process

#

Answering your questions quickly is the only way ai can help you learning

#

But its better to check on the doc or the dev forum directly to have as much information as possible

of the three groups, ChatGPT users had the lowest brain engagement and “consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels.” Over the course of several months, ChatGPT users got lazier with each subsequent essay, often resorting to copy-and-paste by the end of the study.

TIME
ChatGPT's Impact On Our Brains According to an MIT Study

The study, from MIT Lab scholars, measured the brain activity of subjects writing SAT essays with and without ChatGPT.

#

Ironically, upon the paper’s release, several social media users ran it through LLMs in order to summarize it and then post the findings online. Kosmyna had been expecting that people would do this, so she inserted a couple AI traps into the paper

but y'know

#

as long as you're making a deliberate effort to develop stuff for yourself without relying too heavily on ai, it might be fine

alright

#

we gotta take off the training wheels then

at early stages, working is more important than perfect

timid wind
#

yea ill just start trying stuff with what i learned from it before then

elder gust
#

so "is this correct" "is this the best way" "is this optimized" questions are self-sabotage. you should try to ignore these distractions, and just focus on working. every time you make something working and continue building on it, you will pretty much always discover things you did wrong on the first attempt and realize how you could have done it better. learning is just doing this over and over again until you get pro because you always do it better the second time, and there is no substitute for practice.
-# how learning works shouldn't need to be explained in the big 2026 but here we are i guess

'how do i learn' agony

#

🤕

timid wind
#

i do remember a tad from the ai like a babies understanding on like raycasts and like linearvelocity

#

but theres no shot i could like tell you from my head cuz my memory sucks so ill jusy keep dabbling in stuff

elder gust
#

ai does not learn like humans do

#

people draw that comparison because it's easier for a layman to understand

#

but that does zero justice to what is actually happening

timid wind
#

i see
yeah i might just try relearning them from like an actual tutorial or somethjng

self-learning is an invaluable skill that will give benefit across an entire life, and applies to anything and everything. highly recommend you study this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autodidacticism and do more research. always study.

Autodidacticism

Autodidacticism (also autodidactism) or self-education (also self-learning, self-study, and self-teaching) is the practice of education without the guidance of teachers. Autodidacts are self-taught people who learn a subject through self-study. Autodidacticism may involve, complement, or be an alternative to formal education. Formal education it...

get rid of the base the ai set

people who need ai and teachers to teach them will only ever be masters. they may know everything the master teaches them, but they will never know everything the master knows. only someone who has mastered self-learning can truly become a grand master, knowing more than the best there is.

don't look for 'how to make deepwoken'. start with 'how to make a part move; how to spawn a character; how to change health; how to teleport a player around'

#

start with the simplest, most basic, most fundamental things you can think of.

#

i made thag mistake aswell like a year ago

#

trying to make a gun and i didnt even understand what the guy was writing

elder gust
#

because deepwoken is just a loooooong series of really small, really simple fundamental little things, all adding up together to make a full game experience.

timid wind
#

im just gonna go through the basics again

#

do you have anyone you personally reccomend

elder gust
#

a lot of other people recommend brawldev for beginners

timid wind
#

alrighty

elder gust
#

you should be reading this too, alongside tutorials.

timid wind
#

also at like your level
is scripting just reusing the info you've like memorized already or how do you go about it

elder gust
#

in fact, if you're ever writing code and don't have the documentation open, you're doin it rong

timid wind

#

at my level, scripting becomes more about design patterns rather than individual lines of code, or individual function calls.

#

i don't look at code line by line, i look at code in entire chunks at a time.

timid wind
#

oh i see

#

yeah so the aj is definetly cooking me

elder gust
#

it's a bit like, instead of reading a sentence word by word and letter by letter, competent readers will tend to read the shape of a word instead of the actual word itself, making things much faster.

#

or sometimes even group words together and read their shapes at once

#

i'm doing the same thing to code

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_design_pattern

Software design pattern

A software design pattern describes a reusable solution to a commonly needed behavior in software. A design pattern is not a rigid structure to be copied directly into source code. Rather, it is a description of and a template for solving a particular type of problem that can be used in many different contexts, including different programming ...

#

but you can't do that until you learn the coding alphabet

#

and start to learn coding vocabulary

#

and then you start learning patterns, common sentence structures, and maybe you get fancy with it and write some poetry. coding has many similarities to this.

#

it's the same. just takes time to get comfortable with the language.

#

e.g this would be an example of coding 'poetry'

# 
function f(n) return n>1 and n*f(n-1) or 1 end
print(f(5))

you learned the i before e except after c rule, didn't you? and you're still here, you survived that. you can survive learning luau too.

timid wind
#

yeah your right

#

i do got this 😤😤😤🙏🙏

elder gust
#

it is not a coincidence that programming languages are called just that - languages

Instead practise, use it, try your own things with it, experiment

#

If it errors, try finding out why before going to AI

As longer your learning something i dont see no issue with it
