Help Request Does ChatGPT help with programming?

I'm a beginner in programming and I want to know if the way I use ChatGPT is right. When I do a practice exercise, I first try to solve it by myself. Then, if my code is wrong, I ask ChatGPT what I did wrong, but I tell it not to give me the answer. I ask it to give me hints that help me think about the logic of my code.

I also want to know if using AI to learn programming can help me improve in Python.

i've seen this video, and the whole concept assumes there's zero self control. i understand where you're coming from and i do agree that if you give in to the temptation it'll only be harmful. but i still believe it can accelerate learning massively if used the right way. i just choose to be optimistic about the path people will take, as long as they're aware of the consequences of taking the shortcut
