   I can get why they're mad about it, but the reality is that chatbots are better/easier to learn from than courses and tutorials.

   If I had a question about a new library now, I wouldn't google for a tutorial, I'd just ask ChatGPT.

      This implies that you know which question to ask. If people don't know about accessibility, security etc. How are they able to learn? Also, most people don't use AI to learn but to do it for them.

         I mean, the frontier models are pretty damn good at giving you all the standard conventions on things... The first question I usually ask is "give me the all the modern day conventions for this use-case", and then I start the context building from there. This applies to a lot of things, but I mainly use it when I am coding.

            And yet I gave to spend considerable time getting Astra not to use useEffect for no good reason.
