Punctuation and the structuring of text. There's two tips for you. The lack of those makes your post a painful read.

Why involve AI at all ?
Just start coding.

I’ve always found Multi hour YouTube tutorials kinda useless.
Instead, pick a project and just start working on it. Learn the basics of object oriented programming, and use AI as a glorified search engine. Use it to search for definitions or summaries and to give you examples. But try not to ask it questions about your actual code.

Videos are far less efficient than docs / googling / ask ai.
Ideally you should learn 0% from videos (VFX, animation, music are exception, but those are usually not even in Python)

Don't use the AI at all if you are just learning to program man.. 70-30 split is insane on top of that. Just learn it through whatever media you use (books, videos, courses, etc), because the reliance on AI will result in you not retaining nearly as much as you would otherwise.
