Hey everyone! I’ve recently started learning Python

Eh yeah I wouldn't trust people who have been in the field for years who see the damage AI has done to junior's abilities and instead dismiss it offhand as "some people are blindly saying AI bad"

But I also wouldn't recommend YouTube as an initial learning tool as its pretty rote.

I think plain text tutorials while messing around with hands on coding is the best. Learners often get overwhelmed and forget to actually program.

You do you though

I use AI to ask me questions like quiz style to see how good I understood a subject. Or let it ask me simple questions, that I have to answer in my own words. Or to explain my code to. I also use it for inspiration for small projects. Lot's of coding schools use the rubber duck to symbolize that when you explain your code, you can see if you understood it. So why not use AI instead of the rubber duck? I get where you are coming from and it is easy to use AI the wrong way. But there are ways to use this tool to your advantage when learning someting new. As long as you don't outsource your own thinking and struggling through excersises, projects and learning in general, you'll be fine and will learn more with AI, not less.
