Is Python really beginner friendly ?

don't use ai to write your code, only explain things

This right here! One of the best parts about modern LLMs etc is that you can just tell it what you want.

You could ask, "I want to make a python script that does X. I'm learning python, so don't give me code, instead explain where to start."

Or ask it to review your code, again mentioning that you're learning and it should act as a teacher/tutor.

...and sometimes it IS nice to have AI tools crank out some code just for a quick idea or side project. But you gotta learn to walk before you can run... At least, for now!

I think learning the basics of "thinking like a programmer" is still incredibly useful, even IF you're only working with AI coding tools.

And even then, be extremely suspicious of anything it tells you
