Understand that tying yourseld, your workflow and your creatice process to this software will forever make you dependent on it.
I'm being serious - if AI vanishes tomorrow you won't have anything no more, you didn't learn how to do anything by yourself, you don't actually learn how anything works.
This is exactly what big AI wants, you dependent on them for something you could have had for yourself all along.
Instead, try using AI to learn how to do things, it works quite well for that, you will still be collecting the benefits of this technology and learning something useful along the way.
Like a youtube totorial, but interactive. You could start with a simple prompt like:
DON'T WRITE CODE FOR ME. I want to do X to solve Y problem in [insert language you'd like to learn]. Make me a tutorial guide on how i could get started~ person who likes to use Claude
