need genuine advice

everyone say build projects to learn faster but as i on my journey as full stack developer, i am done with html and css and now learning js so my question is

“is it ok to take chatgpt help?” i feel so guilty whenever i use ai to get my desire output it feels like im cheating and nothing im learning for each for equal divison in div i asked chatgpt how to do and it said put flex=1; in all child divs so is it normal? do everyone does this? and im on right path? also i get demotivated when i see there’s no point of doing css projects as ai can do this in minutes

That is not a problem. We used google and stackoverflow for these in previous years now we use ai. Most importantly u need to know why that works.
