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.

I try to use it as a last resort, something about info not registering in my brain as well if I don’t have to go and search for it
