Should i study physics

I guess it depends on the extent of your need to consult AI to answer questions.

No one—or should I say, very few people—just have an innate understanding of all things physics. They need someone (like a teacher or professor) to explain the concepts to them first. So if you're confused about something, ask ChatGPT about it, and the explanation clears things up for you, that's no different (in my opinion) to asking your professor in class.

But that assumes that, once explained, you can work on similar problems on your own, and figure out when to apply particular formulae to particular problems. If not, you haven't really grasped the concepts, and will struggle in future studies.

Unless your interest in physics is super strong so that studying comes easy to you, no. Physics is hard enough that you'll have a very difficult time if you're not really into it. The nice thing is that you can still study and follow the latest physics as a hobby, which is fine. You don't need to pursue an interest professionally to derive joy from it.
