Ask HN: Should AI be used at all as a total beginner?
I aspire to be a game developer or hardware engineer. Life has been rocky because of my undiagnosed ADHD (currently in the process of getting a treatment for it) and trying to get my highschool diploma but now I wish to start my journey into making games or tinkering with hardware.
A problem keeps nagging at the back of my mind though.. Should AI be used at the beginning stages of learning programming? I try to remain neutral in most cases when I don't know something concretely but the more I venture into this landscape of AI & try to understand it I feel like my head's going to explode from all of the new terms (e.g. AI vegan, who even came up with that??) and from all the vast opinions on LLMs.
I only ask for some advice from you guys, I also seek disconfirming arguments as to avoid confirmation bias. Any comments would be heavily appreciated. I wish you all the best!
