As a professional with >20 years of experience, I used ChatGPT for the same purpose recently, just with way more difficult programming concepts.

I wanted to learn how transformers and attention mechanisms work in details. After reading a bunch of books I went into analysing an example LLaMa implementation in NumPy - since it was just a few hundred lines, I pasted all the code into ChatGPT, and kept discussing the most difficult lines.

It was extremely useful in that role. Broke down with some more complicated matrix computations and some nuances of attention mechanisms, but besides that - worked awesome.
