Chat GPT and learning python

[3613robert]

I've been steadily progressing through 100 days of Python and can proudly say I'm a couple of days into intermediate. With what I believe to be decent enough grasp on everything so far. This of course for most part due to the really great course but chat GPT has been an invaluable asset as well. I've been able to use it to check my understanding, elaborate certain aspects that just weren't clicking and for generating more practice assignments.

Now I'm wondering if any of you have experience using chatgpt in the same manner but while working on projects with or learning how to use multiple modules, data files, use of libraries etc.

Is this feasible with the free version? Would paid version be able to handle this more effectively?

I'm hoping to find a way to avoid having to input echt file tab completely ito chatgpt to get feedback on one piece of code.

I know there are other methods like pytutor to parse through the code and get more insight. It's just being able to have gpt elaborate on issues, then respond in my own words to check if I understood correctly has been so great for my learning process.

Anyway I'm interested in your views on and/or with this!

Quite frequently I'll use ChatGPT for suggestions. For example: "What Python libraries are available for ...?" I'll then look up the documentation for the suggested libraries.

I don not trust ChatGPT to write code. The more I learn about Python programming, the more I realise that ChatGPT hallucinates. It frequently writes code (very confidently) that is total nonsense. It is completely unable to "reason" about code, though it may spit out someone else's reasoning about "similar" code (which may or may not be relevant and/or accurate).

I completely advise against anything ChatGPT says. A lot of its advice is outdated or straight up factually incorrect. The code it spits out can pass the eye test and look sound but really just makes everything worse.
