How are you using AI in your project? What are some pros and cons? Has it made you a better programmer?
I think AI has 100% made me a better programmer. However, I could see why people would be less willing to praise or promote the use of AI. It could give people some lazy habit and rely on AI to do some the boring work. For me though, it helped me understand how to understand code.
Whenever there was a certain code I did not understand, I could ask AI to break it down for me. It would break the code line by line and explain it to me how to do it. I also used it as a tutor. Whenever I did not understand a certain topic about coding, I would ask AI to explain it for me. So instead of wasting a lot of time trying to research and look at different sites, I could just stay on a single site and continue to ask question. Also since it was real time as well, I did not have to wait for an answer and I could code right away after reading it. It is basically a live tutor and I wish I had this during my high school years.
Like I mention before, AI can produce bad habit if programmers continue to rely on it. I know that cheating or letting AI do the work has become a huge problem in schools. Not only just in coding but in every subject. It is unfortunate to see students abuse such a good learning tool.
