I’d probably to use it to do my homework but to mainly check that I did it right.
This is where I’ve found it useful. Or I’ll say to not give me the answer but to show me the method I should follow for a problem I don’t know how to solve.
The problem is that this doesn’t work if you don’t know the subject matter already. You can’t tell the facts from the inevitable hallucinations.
A possible mitigation might be to ask the same question in different phrasings multiple times, and ideally ask different models, to distill the truth that way. But I’m not sure you still save any time, that might actually take longer than just learning the old-fashioned way. Plus you don’t learn how to learn, so it’s a net negative.

What if you are not capable of learning the material on your own? Then it’s just tough luck.
If you’re incapable of learning you have bigger problems and parroting a chat bot won’t solve them.
You’re giving off real “just learn to code, bro” vibes.
