I'm using AI to learn how to use the PyGame library, am I doing it wrong?

I've been using AI quite a bit to learn the commands in the PyGame library.Normally I explain what I want to do and ask her to show me which commands I can use to achieve that goal and how those commands work.I almost never ask for direct help with the logic, and I never ask for the code already written, At most, I ask for small excerpts accompanied by explanations, precisely to better understand how it works.

I also often ask AI to explain the logic behind things when I can't do it myself, Because it helps me retain the information. But most of the time, when I see the explanation, I realize that I could have arrived at that solution myself if I had thought about it a little more. And that's where my fear lies: I don't want to create a dependency. At the same time, I feel that I'm using AI more as a way to augment my reasoning than to replace my own thinking.

I can't easily find content that teaches these things in my native language, so I resort to this. It has helped me a lot and given me the strength to continue studying on my own. Am I wrong about that?
