I would personally avoid using chatgpt for stuff in general, it is an extremely valuable skill to know how to google what you want and read documentation to learn what you need. I would even argue it's the most important skill to have lol. Chatgpt is entirely capable of feeding you complete misinformation, as well as outdated misinformation.

I agree with you. But this does not answer if its only discouraged or straight up forbidden to use Chat GPT in such a manner. Would it be allowed?

A friend of mine considers using the jam to learn and would like to adhere to the terms, but finds ChatGPT a better way to learn due to its interactivity in comparison to e.g. Youtube.

In my mind, having things explained to you would be conform with the terms. But as soon as one copies something that one  doesn't fully understand (i.e. couldn't explain it in detail to others) I would consider it a breach of terms.

I kind of disagree, AI CAN help you with game development sometimes.

If you use an AI that cites you to the sources it feeds its info from (eg: Perplexity) then chatgpt could be used to help you quickly find a page in documentation you are looking for, or can quickly refer you to a reddit thread where someone is having the same issue with you. which can save some time you'd like to have

I do agree that abusing it to constantly provide summaries instead of going to the documentation is bad though (and obviously don't have it generate code for you)
