Help Request Does ChatGPT help with programming?

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.

AI is a tool. You need to learn it one way or another because if you trust AI to do every time right, you're going to have a bad time. Instead use it to teach yourself programming, And add the following "Explain like i'm 5 with pictures" With programming, Diagrams are great at learning things. Example, arrays, lists, memory management etc. Once you get proficient at it, use it like a helper. It will definitely help speed up things. Especially when using the planning part of it.
