I've been using ChatGPT for language learning by asking it to explain the differences between words. The answers align with what the dictionary says but are far more elaborate and better nuanced.

It wouldn't be possible to get equivalent explanations from native speakers unless you pay them to teach.

Same. I’ve been using it quite a bit for work, but I’ve also been just playing/experimenting with it and many of my questions have come from knowing a tiny bit of Japanese and watching anime. It’s great for explaining differences between words or phrases that translate similarly.
