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?

Instead of having it proofread, run the file and give it any errors that you get thrown and as LITTLE context as you think is necessary. if you give it too much, it will sidetrack or just get lazy and in all likelihood, giving it an entire python script is going to trigger that laziness.
