I'm planning to start learning Java next month, and I've heard that many people suggest using ChatGPT for practice. I'm curious if it's a good idea to solve coding problems using ChatGPT. Will this impact my problem-solving skills in a negative way?

Definitely use ChatGPT as a resource, but don’t let it do the coding for you. It’s great for quick info, like finding out about libraries or solving specific errors, but if you start generating code it might hurt more than help in the long run—you might end up spending more time fixing bugs later on!
It's crucial that you do the actual problem-solving yourself. Think of ChatGPT as a spotter at the gym; they’re there for support but you still need to lift the weights! Using AI can be helpful for clarifying concepts or getting explanations, but make sure to do the heavy lifting yourself to truly develop your skills.
Exactly! Use it for guidance or debugging, but tackle the problems yourself.
Gotcha! So, it’s best to ask for help only with concepts and not rely on it to generate solutions, right?
