    That is pretty interesting and thanks for posting it. I hear the words and its intriguing but to be honest, I don’t really understand it. I’d have to give it some thought and read more about it. Do you have a place you suggest going to learn more?

    I use chatgpt-4o currently for learning python and helping with grammar. I find it does great with grammar but even with relatively simple python questions it can produce some “creative” answers. Like its in the ball park but its not perfect and for a learner, that’s learning the hard way. To be fair I don’t use the assistant/code interpreter, which I have no idea about but based on its name I assume it might be better. So that’s what I based my somewhat skeptical opinion of ai on.

      Check out this one for a general overview:

      You may want to also check an intro to neural networks, and Q* is a somewhat new concept. Other than that… “the internet”. There are plenty of places with info, not sure if there is a more centralized and structured one.

      Learning to code with just ChatGPT is not the best idea. You need to join three areas:

      • general principles (data structures, algorithms, etc)
      • language rules (best described in a language reference)
      • business logic (computer science, software engineering, development patterns, etc)

      ChatGPT’s programming answers, give you an intersection of all those, often with some quirks, with the nice but only benefit of explaining what it thinks it is doing. You still need to have some basic understanding of those in order to understand what ChatGPT is talking about, how to double-check it, and how to look for more info. It can be a great timesaver as a way to generate drafts, though.
