    i dont program but if i did id proballey just use scripts and ai for everything and not learn anything

    If you used pre-written scripts or vibed your Ai output without learning, then you wouldn’t be programming.

    what do you do to motivate/stop yourself

    To motivate myself to program? First, if its not fun, then I don’t do it. Just a hobby for me. Sometimes I need some motivation, and that is a) I did it myself, can be proud of, b) it might help others, c) to solve a real issue I have myself, d) programming is fun, just for the sake of, e) the prospect of learning something and be able to solve it myself, and it could help solving real issues later when needed, it happened even for work. Just some stuff I can think off in my head.

    To stop to program? Well sometimes its time consuming without results, without finishing something. Even though I learn, it can feel waste of time. I could have done something else in this time. It’s just a hobby in most cases, so in most cases I compare programming to something like playing a game or watching a movie.

    What about you? If you are not interested into programming, why are you posting in programming?

        You said you would just use scripts and use Ai, instead learning:

        use scripts and ai for everything and not learn anything

        If you are not interested into learning, how do you want program? My suggestion is to stop using any Ai tool, do not run others scripts until you understand what they are doing, and start learning. Maybe start with something like Python. There is a lot of material, tutorials and good documentation, even good help on YouTube, and a huge and I mean a huge community who is willing to help you. If you use Ai during this period, I don’t think you will learn much. In worst case, you get very bad habits and learn not to think critically.

        It would be good to know what you tried so far, what your interest is, if you have any ideas what you even want to program.

            Maybe play a learning game. There are games that teach you programming. Either simple text based games, or maybe even full videogames with the topic of programming. This could arouse your appetite to actually learn it.

              The Farmer Was Replaced is like eight bucks right now but if OP is slop addicted the hard part is still not pushing the magic button as they succinctly called it

            Well Ai isn’t a drug, so its totally up to you to stop using it. At least during the learning phase. If you have no control over yourself, but you really want to stop using it, then maybe you need to do some more drastic measures. In example uninstall any Ai software you have, put the webpages with the Ai bots you would use on a block list. I can’t give you a strong will, you have to build it yourself.
