> rather than cut and pasting stuff into your project, type it in by hand

This type of mechanical copying is probably very important for learning and staying familiar with what it is doing.

Just last night I had ChatGPT help me with some algebra and geometry for a hobby project I'm working on. I'm rusty and got stumped so I asked the bot to unblock me. It helpfully walked through the entire simplification / substitution / solving process step-by-step, which I manually copied down using pencil and paper. Following along like that, mechanically, really helped it click for me. I plan to do more of that.
