i will die on this hill. most ai sucks, and i cringe whenever i see ai art or an article so obviously written with it. however, as a programmer myself that always loves to learn new things, it has made learning so much easier.
i loved school growing up. and i’ve always loved learning in a structured setting and with a clear curriculum. but once i left school, all that structure was gone. i still would learn things on my own, but i would always end up veering off onto something else or just getting discouraged because i would end up focusing on the wrong things.
now this may be controversial… i dont use chatgpt much, but when i do i give it a goal, a time frame, and ask it what i need to learn. and then i ask it to split its answer into a weekly plan and boom! i’ve made my own curriculum. guided learning is now so much easier because i know exactly what to read about and research. i’ll sometimes even ask it to give me a “homework assignment” so i can get in some “learning by doing”.
