Looking for some opinions on how to effectively learn using AI, search engines, and current knowledge.
I feel like I'm cheating with the stuff that I'm learning by using #ai. I've started over learning various devops or programming tracks multiple times over the years but never focused on using AI. I have some basic IT knowledge, currently I'm trying to learn more about #selfhosting using a VPS, but I'm heavily leaning on #chatgpt on two sides I noticed.
1. Beginning on new topic
2. Random errors that I can't figure out in search engine results in 5 minutes
I feel like using AI makes it way too easy BUT I'm having fun and it's closing gaps I would give up on typically. When ChatGPT does something for me I sit with it for 5 to 10 minutes, reading it, trying to understand it, and if I'm comfortable, modifying it to see if I do understand it.
I'm documenting as I go to(as best as you do...) to keep track of what things do, how they work, and why 8 made them work that way.
How's this approach?
Thanks. Sorry for long post... If that's bad form, let me know!
