The use of AI in self-learning

[Sandra Jane]

So I've been confused about my learning methods lately.
I've been having a hard time understanding the way my lecturer explain things at the campus. So I have to learn it all over again myself after class. I've been using AI (ChatGPT) to study since I can't understand the topic whenever I tried to use real books, and lately I saw a video which said that AI use in self-learning is inefficient since it can give me a false sense of understanding.

Is it correct that using AI is actually inefficient even though I managed to understand my topics because of it? And if so, is there any learning method that can reduce my AI dependence?

(Sorry for the grammar mistakes. English is not my first language and I'm trying to write things myself without using Google Translate or AI)

But how do you know that you actually do understand the material after an AI session? Is it the case that before the AI session, you tackle homework assignments (problem sets) and can't do them; but after the AI session, you can? Or is it just the case that the AI session provides a simplified explanation that lulls you into believing that you understand the material?
