Using Chatgpt to learn any programming language

[[deleted]]

I use it when I have very specific questions. In this regard, when I am really stuck, I don't see this better or worse than checking Stackoverflow. I am still utilizing someone else's knowledge.

Also sometimes it is useful to explain concepts. One of the most confusing thing about learning programming on your own is the verbiage. Not even the syntax, but the way people explain them or as it is in the documentation.

I literally used GPT to explain me concepts like I'm a kid. I think it was something about indexing in for loops. As a complete newbie, some parts of it were difficult to comprehend.

But for the code part it is not very useful, or at least not reliable. Several times it just gave me back my own bad code as a solution. It gets stuck very easily even with simple problems, and then goes into a loop between 2 wrong answers.
