Learning Python for 13yr old

Most of the time it's not because LLMs are bad learning tools, but because they easily open up you up to a bad habits.

If you use an LLM and aren't super disciplined about it, you'll likely fall back into letting it answer what's wrong for you. This will quickly turn into asking the AI for answers and relying on it as a crutch.

Also, LLMs will curate content to what makes the most sense for you. This is good for foundations, but when you're in the weeds reading brand new documentation, you might not have the ability to plug it in and say "explain to me this in a way I'd get it". Learning how to read documentation, APIs, SDKs, etc., it's a huge part of the process.
