In my courses I have the following policy on AI.
No use of AI is permitted in the labs. In particular:
- It is not permitted to ask AI for a solution.
- It is not permitted to ask AI for finding a bug in your code.
But, it is permitted to ask AI to:
- explain compiler messages by pasting parts of your source code,
- explain concepts, and
- explain how to install software and similar practical problems.
At least 90 % of the purpose of projects and labs is to have fun, develop your confidence, skills, experience, debugging methods suitable for yourself,
self-insights and thinking process which are all harmed by AI in my opinion.
