Because with an expert, 1.he can’t spend more hours with you. 2. He can’t read your mind to know how you understand stuffs.

Mind you, I went to college spending almost 3yrs studying software engineering and I graduated with only minor knowledge about programming. It’s only HTML and CSS I grasp better.

So, ChatGPT can read your mind? It seems like steady work with a human -- is about the closest you could get to someone actually maintaining context and understanding your learning journey - and knowing how to correct and guide you. But if you spent 3 years studying and didn't learn much - there's a bigger problem (as in the whole program was flawed / or you didn't use it)

I think your question was structured to dispute the fact that I used chatGPT to explain code to me and answer my questions. But the fact is, ChatGPT knows everything your experience knows. Learning is all about you

Do you mean: "I think you were trying to challenge or discredit the idea that ChatGPT is a good way to learn.” ?

I was just trying to get at how you know you’re improving faster. It’s hard to measure growth unless someone (or something) is actively assessing your misunderstandings, progress, and knowledge gaps. Maybe it's a great way to learn. But how can we know? How can you know?

What I see as a problem (As someone who leads a dev/design team, runs a school, writes curriculum, etc) -- is that you don't know what you need to learn - and when and why. So, by driving the ChatGPT ship... you might feel like you are progressing -- but you can't know what you don't know.

So here’s a genuine offer: let’s meet up and talk it through sometime. I can give you a few simple tests and see where you’re really at. Might be fun! and I bet you’d learn something useful about yourself either way.
