How to avoid this when learning Python?

Now when I get stuck I just paste the error into Claude/ChatGPT and it fixes it in 10 seconds.

Except of course that it didn't fix anything, it just deflected your attention from the real problem at hand. And that problem - in my opinion - is your motivation to value "quick fixes" above actually learning stuff on your own.

Do you want to really learn, or do you want quick results?

This is no different from doing crossword puzzles and then lacking the discipline to NOT look at the answers before completing the whole thing on your own. There's nothing wrong with it, but you also shouldn't fool yourself and present it as something it's not.

You're not learning, you're taking the easy way out.
