So true! And it goes hand-in-hand with a different problem: You being able to try and brute-force solutions.

If you write your prompt as a request, and not carefully as an idea or suggestion, the bot can blindly agree to 'help'. And if you are stubborn about it, you can lose hours on something that cannot work, or make the code infinitely worse.

However, it's also the path of getting better at programming. To learn to take a step back, to ask yourself if it's really sensible. Just that now it also involves questioning the bot's help, as well as writing your prompts to prevent it.
