My first use of an AI code helper

I'm learning Django (and Python), writing a back end for my chess-like game (called Prongs, pieces can get wounded as well as captured). The AI assistant called Cursor was one of the recommendations a friend of mine made. I needed additional fields attached to the built in User model. The AI gave me a very thorough suggestion/tutorial/implementation of a Profile model to connect to the User model. HOWEVER... it used a signal receiver to create the Profile when a User was saved. I wasn't familiar, but it reminded me of Notifications in iOS, which I use sparingly. I googled this and sure enough, signals should be used sparingly, as they can make unit testing and debugging unnecessarily complicated. It looks like get_or_create (which is called Lazy in Swift) makes more sense. So my take away is that AI saved me a bunch of googling to come up with a good summary for creating a one-to-one model to connect to the User model, but it needed reality checking, which involved almost as much googling. Still, it was very educational. It looks like a very useful skill that will be needed going forward by coders. This is also why AI is scary to me; we need to treat it like a junior dev and not blindly trust its recommendations.
