If you can't afford the tutor, then its not really a tradeoff between chatgpt and the tutor. Its a tradoff between chatgpt and some other way to spend your time to learn a language. I suspect you'd probably advance faster through your first three months of a language spending the same chunks of time with a language learning book from the library than with chatgpt, which might very well be teaching you how to conjugate a verb in latin instead of spanish or some other error the model makes.
