As someone who has been coding and learning to code for about 30 years: If you know what you need to figure out, there are lots of approaches. (Documentation, web search, stack overflow, textbooks, etc.) But if you don't know what you don't know, and you are looking at a very broad question like "How do I decide what web framework to use? What frameworks even exist?" I think asking AI is a good place to start. For those kinds of questions, the previous state of the art was "find someone knowledgeable and get them to teach you", or "google around and hope someone has written something good about it (and that it's not secretly spam advertising their own framework)", or "post on stack overflow, and hope your question doesn't get closed as 'too broad'". For asking very open-ended vague questions, trying to rapidly get up to speed in an area you know little about, such that you don't even know what you don't know, AI can be hard to beat. (Especially for areas like frontend development, which the AIs know pretty well.)
