Don't copilot anything longer than a function of about 15 lines. That way you can quickly see if it made mistakes. Ensure it works, move on to the next.
And only do that for boring, repetitive work. The tough challenges and critical parts you're (for now) better off solving yourself.
Tried to learn coding using chatGPT. Wanted to make my own game engine for a phone game. Ended up looking up tutorials.
ChatGPT as a programming tool like any other tool works a whole lot better when you are well versed in how the process should go. It speeds up the workflow of a professional, it doesn't make a new worker better.
