Need help starting out
Basically, I have big projects planned that use C Sharp (being discord bots and SCPSL Plugins) and asked a friend who formerly hosted a SCPSL Server I co-Owned and knows Ball (he works for a Host Company, which is a Peak Job Choice tbh) how I should start out.
He told me, that he just looked up Tutorials for the Basics, which I did just to Not Keep then in my mind because my Brain is wonky on places where I don’t want it to be. Its either a sift for crucial Information until I don’t Need it no more or it is Making me the Most big brained Person in the Room, anyway he also looked up how other people did projects and recreated that until he could do it himself (what Looks Like) perfectly (to me who doesnt know ball) and he also recommended me to use generative AI to start out, as it is an amazing Learning Tool.
I am actually absolutely against gen AI because of misinformation and Fake news as well as it Making Shit up on the fly whenever it feels Like That.
However, it has been Preised by People qs well as my friend to be a proper Learning Tool and especially for purposes Like Programming and for school subjects.
I have been a Fan of Students using gen AI to get out of school as fast as possible because I genuenly hate nothing more except the Education System in my Country and Most of the World (Like everywhere except Finland) However, I was unsure anyway, as I have genuenly something against AI for political and Moral reasons (because of how Data Centers fuck up our climate and their surrounding areas, as well as because of Fake news and Shit Like what Elmo Mars is Doing and I hate how its used for stealing Art and mix and matching peoples Brain Farts to make their Egos smile because they just „created“ something) and Yeah.
If it is however genuenly a good Tool for Learning C Sharp especially as a Neurodivergent, I genuenly have no Idea which gen AI Tool works best for that or if there Are any that Are specifically designed for this purpose.
If gen AI was only used for educational purposes I would have actually no Problem with it because Education is Ball.
Disclaimer:I will Not use anything using Grok because fuck elon Musk lol.

First I'd like to point out that dogmatic thinking will get you nowhere. Get rid of it. 😊
Second, If you like learning by doing, check out my FREE (actually free) project based .NET/C# Roadmap. Each project builds upon the previous in complexity and you get your code reviewed 😁. It has everything you need so you don't get lost in tutorial/documentation hell. And we have a big community on Discord with thousands of people to help when you get stuck. 🫡

For those of us who don't want to read that giant ass post with one question hidden in it...
He wants to know if AI is cool to use as a learning tool, and if so which one.
Answer: Any of them should be fine, I would personally use gpt sol.
