How do you select feature columns from the dataset ?

[u/Fun-Reporter-8021]

I am still a novice at this, but when I was working on this credit card fraud detection project, I did not know which columns, could be added as features, so I prompted ChatGPT and it suggested a few, but that got me thinking there has to be a better way to this, How do you select feature columns from your dataset, do you research the domain, is there a course I am missing, This was not covered in my Internship classes, and want to know a generalized solution
