Main rule 🚫 Do not use AI

 

🚫 Main rule

1. Do NOT use AI to write your code

• You must write your own code.
• You cannot copy code from ChatGPT or other AI.

2. Only one exception

• If you are stuck, you can use the teacher’s solution code.
• This is only to help you move forward.

❓ Why you should NOT use AI to write code

1. You won’t learn

• If AI writes the code, you don’t practice.
• Practice is how you learn programming.

2. You won’t understand the code

• You need to know if code is correct and safe.
• You can’t check AI’s code if you don’t understand basics.

3. You won’t fix errors

• AI code is often “almost correct.”
• You must fix mistakes yourself.
• You need skills for that.

4. You won’t build thinking skills

• Coding teaches logic and problem-solving.
• Struggling helps you grow.
• AI removes that struggle → less learning.

✅ Good ways to use AI (allowed)

1. Improve your own code

• Write your code first.
• Then ask AI: “Make this more Pythonic.”
• Study the changes.
• Then rewrite it yourself (don’t copy).

2. Ask for explanations

You can use AI as a teacher:

• “Explain f-strings”
• “Teach me recursion”
• “What does this error mean?”

⚠️ Will you get in trouble?

1. Maybe

• Using AI for assignments is not allowed.
• Sometimes it may not be noticed.

2. But it can be obvious

• AI code may look very different from class material.
• If multiple students submit similar unusual code → suspicious.

3. Important idea: honesty

• The teacher wants you to be honest.
• Do your own work.

🧠 Very simple summary

Do:

• Write your own code
• Use AI to learn or improve
• Ask AI questions

Don’t:

• Copy AI code
• Submit AI-written assignments
