I'm a PhD student, mostly off on my own doing dissertation research and writing at this point, and typically getting one hour per week one-on-one with my advisor to ask questions and get guidance. So I'm already in the habit of reading and experimenting as much as I can to figure things out for myself, leaving only the toughest questions for those meetings with my advisor. Since he turned me on to using ChatGPT, however, I've found that I have fewer and fewer of those questions. ChatGPT seems to be able to answer most of them for me, instantly instead of waiting until next Monday afternoon, and probably better than my advisor could answer them off the top of his head. With that said, most kids are not mature PhD students who have already "learned how to learn", know what they need to learn about, know when and how to verify things by consulting other sources, and have an intrinsic motivation to attain a deep understanding of things.
