I'm searching for AI tools that can help me learn coding concepts without actually writing code for me, especially since my company has strict security policies that prevent me from sharing codebases with AI. I've used ChatGPT in the past for explaining/debugging, and while it can help clarify topics or APIs, it often outputs messy code. I really just want something that's conversational and helps me understand syntax or debug issues when I hit a wall. I'd also like to know about any free alternatives to ChatGPT, as I'm considering switching back from the paid plan but I'm worried about the quality. So, what are some of the best free AI tools for learning where I can interact with the AI using only small bits of generalized code?

I use ChatGPT for exactly that! While the code it generates usually needs some tweaking, it does a good job explaining concepts and APIs. Just remember to verify its answers with other resources to ensure they’re accurate. What have you been using, ChatGPT or another LLM?
Thanks for the tip! I agree with cross-checking. I've noticed the output quality can be inconsistent, which is odd. Are you on the free plan or paid?
