AI can teach you to code, as long as you don't switch off and stop using your own brain. Use it as a search engine instead of a teacher, always confirm original sources.
My problem is that I can't trust it not to hallucinate something that I can't catch it on. If it tells me something wrong, and I don't catch it, that might stick and be really hard to unlearn. It's more like a study guide that's only semi-reliable, and I don't like unreliable information.
What exactly are you trying to learn by the way? Web dev or more backend stuff? Systems and infra programming?
There are a lot of guided resources that can take you through learning that don't involve generating a lot of random text.
