I'm using chatgpt as a coach for my programming learning path and honestly, it's amazing.

My bootcamp Discord feels useless in comparison. ChatGPT is always available, and while it's true sometimes gives beliable but wrong answers in my experience if you have basic knowledge on the topic it's easy to spot.

It saves me sooooo much time it's amazing. The time I spent correcting or figuring out ChatGPT mistakes is minuscule in comparison of the time I'd be spending scanning horrible documentation or testing stuff from Stack Overflow.

And if you feel it doesn't provide useful answers, then just and use your search engine.



Don't want to sound rude but GP was asking about a topic you know really well. If you are a student in a new topic, by definition you cannot know the topic really well.


I think the correct way to use it as a student is as a companion to the textbook. If any exercise or text is too convoluted Chatgpt can explain it in a more understandable way.

And step by step solving of exercises is great for students too, they can verify with the textbook's answer key.

The key is having a source of truth on hand.
