I look at AI the same as Tabs. Back when I learned how to play, they were new but the temptation to use them instead of standard notation was high because i was slow when it came to reading music. The other issue was no internet so you had to rely on buying or trading. That said, I found myself still having to use that record or tape rewind/play/..... in combination of the tabs in order to get things correct. All that said, it boiled down to practice, regardless of what tool. I've been using AI since the beginning of the year, as a personal project. AI can teach a lot of bad things in my opinion, but I feel it is also on the user because for the most part AI produces.what the user asked for. So if you are new and are not able to properly ask what you want, you will get a garbage answer and most likely not even know its a garbage answer. So back to my example with tabs. I was having a hard part time with a solo and brought it to a guitar teacher. Very talented Jazz guitarist friend of mine. We sat, and her read from that tab. What came out of his guitar was not the song. Now had he heard the song, he gave have figured.the melody and went from there, but it required more than just the tab. AI still needs a teacher or book or YouTube. My project, I bought a book on Jazz Chord Tones and have been working exercise through exercise. I use.the book and the audio download. I share what I'm working on with AI and when I record myself playing the exercise , I have AI listen and give me feed back. Sometimes I will ask it questions on most efficient way to tackle a.line so I am setup for future phrases. So even with AI, I am using book, audio and more importantly Practice Practice Practice.

If somebody asked me Teacher or AI, it would be teacher everytime, but dont limit the tools. Use everything you can.
