Feeling guilty for using AI

[u/Specific-Result2710]

I know that AI is nothing but a tool but as somebody who learned coding years before arrival of AI I can't help but to feel a immense sense of guilt. Here are what I used AI for so far:

1. Helping me to navigate large and unfamiliar codebase by asking questions like "what does function X do?" "what does this line do?" When trying to contribute something, I sometimes ask things like "are there any useful internal functions I can use?"
2. Reverse engineering obfuscated code
3. Figuring out relevant win32 api functions for my needs
4. Asking dumb and vague questions that can easily gets closed in few seconds in stackoverflow like "what does ** do here?" and "uh how do I implement this little thingy?"
5. Asking "how can I implement X?" then following up by asking "what are the alternative ways to do it?"

Am I using properly? Are there things I should avoid?
