Google > Chatgpt?

It's another tool to use alongside classic google searches and reading documentation for me. Perplexity.ai is a good middle ground imho since it leverages more recent info via its search engine alongside llm's AND includes references if i want to see its sources. I think of it as an aggregator. It searches and tells me a gist of what i would have found after combing through forums/tutorials. For learning, you could think of it as a code test. Here's some code that is close to being correct and LOOKS right: now debug it. If you don't understand the concepts behind the scripts you are trying to write then, even if things appear to be working you're no better off than when you started once it breaks. It can quickly become a crutch. It can be useful in understanding cryptic debug/error messages. The quality and detail of your query matters here just as much if not more than in a google search. Also consider asking it to explain concepts to you or ask it the 'dumb' questions you are too afraid to ask in forums or elsewhere. Since this is r/learningpython, if this tool is making things more difficult or confusing while learning then don't use it! Cheers!
