I was really hyped when I asked ChatGPT to write some classes to encode some data, everything seemmed magical when the code was outputing and making sense to me at first glance.

But when a tried it didn't work and spent an hour tryin to fix it.

Then I decided to write my own code and stop wasting time.

I don't usually copy blocks of code they produce verbatim, it's either line-by-line work (CoPilot) when I check every line - the same way I check my own lines - or I just take rough ideas (ChatGPT). The main good thing is - it makes me think more about what I'm doing, like a second mind (granted not a very bright one, but with a vast knowledge database).
