Why not just search “best book to learn X reddit”, take a look at a few threads and get the book mentioned, and read it? It was written by an actual expert on the topic, did not hallucinate bullshit and is actually correct, and if it is a good book then it has a proper structure, making you learn in a proper order.
GPT-4 is generally superior to reading a book or following a tutorial, in my experience.
You can't ask a book questions about parts you don't understand. Books will also talk about things that are not directly related to the problem you are trying to solve, which can be frustrating.
The biggest issue with GPT is when you are working with new or rapidly changing tech. For example it might suggest Godot 3 syntax when you are working with Godot 4. But working with OpenGL for example, I find questioning GPT-4 to be more useful than reading a book. The book was probably in it's training data, anyway.
That is a good method, too, of course. But I don’t always learn best by proceeding through material step-by-step. Often wandering around a subject as my curiosity takes me and using a lot of trial and error have enabled to me to assimilate knowledge better in the end. Even if GPT-4’s answers are sometimes wrong, being able to ask it questions is extremely useful.
