I think chatgpt's effectiveness for self-studying would depend on the subfield of pure math. For example, real analysis I believe is still best self-studied by just reading baby rudin and doing the examples and exercises. However, I really could not make much progress on topology until chatgpt walked me through what the open set axioms actually meant in the context of metric spaces (which most of the topological spaces one encounters are), otherwise they just seemed very arbitrary.
