Pairing programming with AI
If you're a programmer or learning to program, generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) can help you be more productive, make fewer mistakes, and learn new skills and languages more quickly, as you discover in this chapter. In the process, you work with some tools to get a taste of what’s available. All the topics in this chapter are described in detail in later chapters.
Although you might be able to use AI to generate working computer programs without knowing how to code, I strongly discourage you from doing this — especially if you plan to deploy anything you generate. Generative AI doesn’t know how to program. If you don’t know how to code either, there’s a good chance that code you create with AI will have serious security problems, functionality problems, or worse.
