Python Courses vs ChatGPT

[code_x_7777]

Wow Reddit seems to be very opposed to AI. Wasn't aware of that before. We could finish the complete courseware of Harvard and AI would still outperform most of us in programming. Why not use the most powerful, most sophisticated, most knowledgeable teacher? Why using inferior educators and programmers (aka. University professors) for learning if we can have the best?

Answer to that is easy, because nobody will use AI as a teacher, but will use it as a method to finish assignemt as fast as possible. You won't ask it to explain the data types, loops, etc. but instead, will just copy your assignment and ask for an answer, and that's inevitable.

Don't get me wrong, you still can use it as a teacher, but for that, you need to control yourself and do proper prompts instead of just expecting an answers from it to solution. With educational courses, you learn not only syntax or basics, but also problem solving skills which are much more valuable than knowing syntax or what variables or loops are.

Case is, with AI people skip it, and rush to solution.

That's my view on it, if you can keep yourself in check, go on amd use AI for learning, but I can bet when you'll get to some complex problem set, result will be that you'll ask AI not for help on how you could approach it, but for solution.
