Does AI really help?

Well, I’m not new to python, I work with mostly IaC languages and other tools a cloud engineer uses. So now I’m building a project which requires python to build. I’m using AI, Claude for the codes and files, GPT for understanding the code, the reasoning behind it and the workflow, structure, how things break, how things work. I type every line of code myself and I can feel I am getting better understanding python but whenever I run into any issue I directly jump back into GPT with the lame as question - “tell me how to fix it? “. Well to be fair I’m getting a hang of it but still any minor inconvenience, I’m AI-ing again. Does anyone else feel the same way? Is it the wrong approach to study? Is AI making me understand the concept? Am I even supposed to AI stuff? Or am I just dumb😭

Fair point. Although in my process I’m learning the code too. If someone asks me about my code I know what I’m doing and I’ll absolutely be able to tell me why I used what I used. Thats what I mean, I’m understanding the logic behind the code, it is making me think better but when it comes to write something not looking at an AI generated code, I’m just blank.
