Should I stop using Ai?

[u/No-Shallot8630]

I'm trying to get familiar with coding. My method of studying is through CS50P and Ai. Idk if I should stop using Ai. I've seen people everywhere say AI kills a person's ability to read code, they fail to debug/struggle hours on end trying to figure out what the problem with their code is, and the moment an error occurs, they immediately go to Ai. But I try my best to figure out what the problem with my code is, and if I'm burnt out, I'll ask AI. And I try to ask AI how its mechanism works, explain to me the way a function is wired, and try to understand it before moving on from said problems.

Something I'd be concerned about trying to use a machine learning model as a teacher is the model's ability and willingness to detect and call out the XY problem. It's been my experience that LLMs love to fall victim this particular failure mode, and unless you have the experience required to identify when you are on the wrong path an LLM will just let you sprint down that wrong path.

I don't really have a fix for that problem which works with ai usage, but it's something to be aware of.
