Actually it's taking me quite a lot of effort and learning to setup AI's that I run locally as I don't trust them (any of them) with my data. If anything, it's got me interested in learning again.
I have difficulty learning, but using AI has helped me quite a lot. It's like a teacher who will never get angry, doesn't matter how dumb your question is or how many time you ask it.
Mind you, I am not in school and I understand hallucinations, but having someone who is this understanding in a discourse helps immensely.
It's a wonderful tool for learning, especially for those who can't follow the normal pacing. :)
The problem is if it's wrong, you have no way to know without double checking everything it says
I understand that. I am careful to not use it as my main teaching source, rather a supplement. It helps when I want to dive into the root cause of something, which I then double check with real sources.
But like why not go to the real sorces directly in the first place? Why add unnecessary layer that doesn't really add anything?
I do go to the real source first. But sometimes, I just need a very simple explanation before I can dive deep into the topic.
My brain sucks, I give up very easily if I don't understand something. (This has been true since way before short form content and internet)
If I had to say how much I use it to learn, I'd say it's about 30% of the total learning. It can't teach you course work from scratch like a real person can (even through videos), but it can help clear doubts.
