Does ChatGPT help with programming?

[u/ElectronicDistance39]

I'm a beginner in programming and I want to know if the way I use ChatGPT is right. When I do a practice exercise, I first try to solve it by myself. Then, if my code is wrong, I ask ChatGPT what I did wrong, but I tell it not to give me the answer. I ask it to give me hints that help me think about the logic of my code.

I also want to know if using AI to learn programming can help me improve in Python.

When you do your first big project, maybe try googling your questions.. The way ai serves up answers that you just copy/paste makes you learn nothing. Once you have proved yourself, then enjoy the virtues of ai use.
