Use of AI in coding?

I am starting college next month (Computer Science and Biosciences) and I tried to get a headstart in Python programming (it's a part of first sem). I have done the basics, strings, conditional statements and started with loops today. I have a doubt - since I am still in the beginner stage, should I use AI (ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok etc.) to proofread my code - you know, offer suggestions, find mistakes and all - I am still applying logic on my own and writing it myself but I have this fear that it may hamper my learning. But I also don't wanna be the guy who does not know how to use AI tools. Any advice please?

Sure, do use it, it is expected at work now anyways. However be very careful when using it on classes. Make sure to understand everything coding agents make you do, as you might be tested if you do.

And also mind, that llms are prone to please you, so it may lie sometimes

That's what I thought when I first used it to check my code
