If you are learning Polish, how do you know that ChatGPT is the better tutor of Polish?

I guess you could ask the same question of a human tutor, however this seems to me the sort of thing a chatbot could very confidently give BS or incorrect information, and you would have no way of knowing unless a human who already knows Polish pointed it out.

No human person has the stamina to spend 3 hours fixing basic conjugation tables and still encourage me.

As a European I have received extensive language tutoring and know how people teach. I also know enough Polish people that I can certify that they are just regular people without super-human tutoring skills.
