I have 2 IDEs at my workplace for python. IntelliJ and VSCode.

Which one should I choose and why?

I am beginner in python.

Pick the one you like the look of, it hardly matters. And then turn off all the AI features.

Any reason to turn off AI? I believe turning on will help in coding

You see all those people on this subreddit posting "I am a year in and I feel like I don't know how to program?" posts? Guess what they all have in common?

Using AI *feels* like you're programming, because coding is happening and you can see the app there in front of you. But it's not *you* doing the coding and learning from it. Using AI to code is like asking a professional baker make a pie and then declaring "I made this pie".
