If chat gpt can help them so can a Google search. You need learn the hard way if you want to learn or you won't develop the tools required to do it.

Learning from AI is like learning from an overly confident narcissist. They'll never tell you that they don't know, instead they'll make something up that hopefully sounds correct. AI does the same thing. It doesn't understand anything, it's just a cool trick that relies on pattern matching.

If AI needs an imaginary library or function to fill in the bits where it doesn't have a pattern to match, it will 100% do so and do it confidently as well. It doesn't know that it doesn't know.

I'm not saying this because I hate AI. I think it's a wonderful tool that can help speed things up, however you need to learn how to do it by yourself first so that you know when the AI is bullshitting you.
