I've used it these past few months to better understand the PDF format, Nix, and a few other technical concepts.

I try to use AI to automate things I already know and force myself to learn things I don't know.

It takes discipline/curiosity but it can be a net positive.

They should just simply try it. Start with something you actually know to see how useful it might be to you with your prompts.
