I would recommend ChatGPT4. It feels a lot like having a tutor and should be used as such. It's not a perfect solution but I doubt there is one.
Also, hands-on practice tramples any other method by far when it comes to learning programming.
I'm a bit on the fence on this one. I've seen ChatGPT inventing things too many times to trust it with anything more than rewriting and improving texts...
Don't trust it, but test what it gives you. Often, if it doesn't work you can just tell ChatGPT why it doesn't work and it will fix the mistake.
Which one?
ChatGPT 4. It wasn't code, but it got me nervous xD
I like that line of thinking. If you can spot where chatgpt4 goes wrong then you'd be putting yourself ahead of the curve. I have seen absolutely terrible paid tutors. I have had some very questionable content taught directly from a self-claimed Java expert who spent half the lectures talking about his contracts and expertise, who then proceeded to teach Java with Vi.
Like my original post states, it is no perfect solution. But chatgpt4 is very good value for what it has to offer. It's not perfect but its interactive mode is instantaneous. Even universities won't give your class of 100+ the same value despite offering much less interactivity. Granted, what we pay for there is that piece of paper and most learning is still self-driven.
