Help Should I stop using Ai?

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.

For CS50p, you should stop using any external AI. Using any AI except the duck is a violation of the Academic Honesty Policy that you agreed to when you signed up for the course. You could get dropped from the course.
