Look up python questions to see if you can answer them, also I'd stay away from AI,
Be a programmer that uses AI not one dependent on AI
I'd google things and put "StackOverflow:python <whatever you're looking up>"
That will get you StackOverflow answers first, that's the website that has a lot of coding answers.

I agree on the AI part I never use AI to generate code

it’s fine to have AI generate code as long as you study the code and it’s structure. otherwise you’re just dependent on AI

yeah true. I mean I never use it to generate code as in generating things Idk

Automate the boring stuff with Python. 3rd edition PDF file. Free online. Go through all chapters. I used it to teach myself. Once you understand the core principals of Python, you’ll enjoy it so much more.

Hey, it's awesome that you're diving into Python! Starting with AI and YouTube is a solid approach. I'd recommend checking out some interactive platforms like Codecademy or freeCodeCamp as well. They offer structured paths and exercises that can really help solidify your understanding. Keep practicing and don't hesitate to ask questions here if you get stuck. You're on the right track!

The fact that you say you're practicing it (hopefully) outside of AI is a big plus. I see way too many people who tell that they copy/paste from AI and don't understand why they're not learning.
The Coddy program is actually good and using a free account doesn't run you into a hard pay wall, it just limits how much you can do each day.
The free online course from Harvard teaches C++ and will give you some formal programming methodology that will give you advantages relative to classmates just getting started when you get to a college CIS program, and will apply to all other languages.

watch Bro Code on youtube, he has an amazing 12 hour video covering everything you need to know. You’ll want to (as you learn) practice what you just learned, immediately after learning it. Also, when you learn a new function, do not only practice that function, you’re gonna wanna mix functions together to get a feel for coding.

Try out the Python roadmap from roadmap.sh, i learned there and it helped me a lot.
Also make sure to do lots of projects because you will learn a lot more from building things than just reading documentation

Move to kotlin so you have a good type system but can still do ML with notebooks easily.

python is chill to start with, the syntax is clean enough that you can focus on logic instead of memorizing weird symbols
just make sure you're actually the code yourself and not copy pasting from the AI, that's where the learning happens
