The premise
AI is a remarkably patient analytics tutor: it can answer 'why does this query return zero rows' at 2am, generate practice problems calibrated to your level, and explain pandas idioms when documentation is opaque.
What AI does well here
- Answering specific 'why does this not work' questions with debugger-level detail
- Generating practice problems on a topic you just learned
- Explaining the same concept three different ways until one clicks
- Reviewing your code and suggesting more idiomatic approaches
What AI cannot do
- Replace doing the work yourself on real, messy data
- Catch the moment you are copy-pasting without understanding
- Tell you which skills will be most valuable in your specific job market
