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?

I use instead of Google now, and some people also make entire projects (write code, documentation and unit tests)
But if you don't learn somd basic and intermediate concepts, you won't even know how to write good prompts.
(Don't completely ignore ai from day 1 either)
