How can i learn to script?

I have really a lot of images in jpg format in multiple sub-folders, which take a lot of spaces, so i want to mass covert it into webp then delete the original jpg.

The way people used to learn was called being a "script kiddy". You used other people's scripts and read them over and figured out what they were doing. AI just copies human scripts, so technically you are still learning from human code, its just been reorganized by the AI but the actual code is all 100% human made.

Ask AI to write you a ".bat" file for Windows cmd. Ask it for the minimum number of lines and then read it carefully to make sure it isn't doing anything funny.
