    The “correct” way to use AI for coding (and anything really) is to ask for explanations / tutorials when you can’t find one online, then learn from that.

    except the “explanation” frequently will be 100% “hallucinated” bullshit

      That’s why I always ask it to cite sources. Basically googld ATP since google is turning to shit and all other search engines still aren’t quite as good

        It could very easily use a completely different or hallucinated source.

        But a lot of LLM products are now providing source links right in the response. I’ve found them useful, and hopefully they aren’t produced just by feeding the text back in and asking for a link.
