It tries to anticipate what you want so much that it will even answer its own question instead of yours sometimes. But you can use it to explain how code works and that can be very helpful to you learning.\n\nCoPilot, I find more helpful. It's easier to prompt it to take one step at a time and clarify the goal of code before we change anything, etc. But I have been coding by myself in Lua for Luanti for a few years, so I'm pretty good at prompting it to do what I need help with.\n\nAI is great for filling in gaps or helping me get past being stuck, rather than turning out whole mods. It's also quite good for doing grunt work, like \"take all the nodes in this file and change the names to...\". But, all that said, it's only able to do what you can clearly articulate. It's not unlikely that it will misunderstand and give you something you didn't intend (read through and test what it gives you) because your explanation is not as clear as it would be if you knew more code, but if you want to use it to learn, it can be a great tool.\n\nStatistics: Posted by Slightly — Fri Feb 13, 2026 20:11\n\n* * *",
