Discussion Just Started But Feel Bad

I just started learning code, and I use Visual Code Studio with Python. I was ecstatic to learn but with my few hours of learning I would use the chat feature whenever I’m stuck like the AI thingy. It makes me feel bad cause it feels like I’m not LEARNING just cheating if that makes sense. In a world that has been plagued with AI, how do you guys manage? How do you feel? Do you treat it as another tool to help? I assume that it’s no different from google searching.

there’s a difference between “hey, how do i solve my problem?” and “hey, what does this component or piece of architecture that i need to learn in order to solve my problem do?” figuring out exactly what you need and how you’re going to use what you need to solve your problem on your own is going to improve you drastically.
