    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.
