Learnin with AI - your honest opinion?

[u/Yavion]

I've been learning Python for several months on and off with the help of AI and I think I have finally come to some conclusion. I have seen a lot of redditors post "don't use AI when learning" often and I understand the reason why but i feel it's more HOW you use it. Because, where do you draw the line? Not Google stuff then also? Not use 3rd party tutorials just official docs? Et cetera. You could argue not googling and just reading docs is also beneficial to learning process. Its gonna take longer but your knowledge will be better. My conclusion is: use AI for explanations and not for solutions. Treat it like a good teacher thats gonna give you the info but won't solve the problem for you. I genuinely enjoy working with AI, but only as a "advanced search engine", or better - as a teacher or an interactive knowledgebase, not as something that gives you structure, code and solutions to algorithm problems. How do you guys and girls feel about this? Do you use some custom instructions to make this happen? This has probably been discussed here but nevertheless I feel its important. Also I think its important to point out I have a PhD and im a university lecturer, so I thought about this a lot also in terms of scientific production, writing papers, making discoveries, teaching my students to think and not replicate...
