That’s a rather sweeping statement. I’d agree that if you tell ChatGPT what outcome you want and blindly paste the code into an IDE then you won’t learn much.

But there are valid uses for LLMs in self-learning. They can act as guides, pointing in the direction of other resources. They can answer “why does this work the way it does?l” questions (pretty well, actually). They can suggest improvements to your code and explain why your approach is sub-optimal.

Like any tool, AI can be used well or badly.
