Body

As a beginner-level programmer... would you suggest Copilot or any other AI tools?... If yes, then which ones? I am planning to start learning Python and would build some apps one day.

@Prathamb6 Hey! Honestly, if you are just starting to learn Python, I'd recommend holding off on Copilot for a bit.

When you are first learning, it is super important to write the code yourself to build muscle memory and understand the basic logic. If an AI auto-completes everything for you, it gets really hard to figure out how to fix your own bugs later on.

Instead of using a code-completion tool like Copilot, try using standard ChatGPT or Gemini like a personal tutor. Ask it to explain concepts or tell you why an error is happening, but make sure you write the actual code yourself.

Good luck with your apps!
