Get access to GitHub copilot, it will write the code for you pretty much

Doesn't sound like a good way to learn!

Good way to check, if it's accurate

I can decode Morse (and some Semaphore) if that helps?

Just tell it what you want, then ask for explanation anything not understood

Annoying it often categorically makes up things;  yes admits it when questioned, but still what do you believe?

Just as a test, the next time it tells you something, and when you look at it carefully you find it's correct, then challenge it. See how quickly it backs down and apologies.

When I used it, I wanted it to do just that. My background is coding but only limited web stuff. When I needed to make some web stuff with user interaction, rather than spend time learning HTML, CSS, JavaScript etc, I paid for GitHub copilot and instructed it to do the donkey work.
