For those same questions that you're probably asking ChatGPT, a google search would show me google's LLM answer at top, maybe reddit threads that would illuminate the topic a bit more for me, maybe stackoverflow threads where 2-3 people show different approaches to the solution and maybe some random forum somewhere with example code i could repurpose. Sure, chatgpt will answer the question but it won't have all the other noise that I can glean from and maybe come up with a better solution. I would use the analogy of consuming a perfectly tasty and nutritional meal crafted by chef chatgpt vs visiting a few restaurants around your neighborhood and tasting different cuisines. neither approach is wrong but you get different things and values out of each approach. Do what you feel like doing! Last week, there was a specific coding problem I needed help with, I asked chatgpt which gave me a great answer. Except I spent a few hours trying to figure out why the function chatgpt was using wasn't being included, despite the #include directives being all correct. neither chatgpt nor google were helpful. The solution was to just take a different approach to my code, if I only googled, I wouldn't have spent that time chasing the wrong solution. Also consider this, when you ask a question, there are a bunch of rude people (well meaning) that ask you questions like "what are you really trying to do?" and who criticize a bunch of unrelated things about your code/approach/question. a lot of times that's just annoying but sometimes that gives you really good insights on the problem domain.
