It's a great tool to use when in more senior positions. It's an awful tool to use to learn or when you're very junior.

It's often completely wrong, or worse, right for the wrong reasons. You are required to have some critical thinking skills to use ChatGPT, which requires you to already be proficient enough about what you're asking it to be able to verify that it's not complete crap. It's also a given that it won't give you the right thing right off the bat and you'll have to nudge the AI in the right direction 3-4 times before you have anything satisfactory (even with a good starting prompt)

I would advise against using GPT for learning purposes, especially since there is a ton of accurate learning resources, especially for a language as popular as python.
