The use of AI for beginners just learning how to code?

Large Language Models and AI is a gift and a curse I would say!

I am not a programmer and I am not using ChatGPT and all the other tools in the most effective and productive way possible, but I see how it can affect the youth and especially those that are in school (high school, college or university). Everything is so available, and you don't learn how to grind or how to interpret information in a way that we had to do before, and my worries is that we will forgot the basics (I am not just talking about programming, but math, how to write, how to focus and how to struggle) since everything is available for us in just a couple of seconds with a good prompt.

It all depends on how you use it ofcourse, if you want it to write your bachelors thesis or if you want it to give you a critical review of your thesis, then that is two different ways on how to use it and the second way might be very helpful.

Therefore I will not use any tools like ChatGPT to write code, or at least minimize it, in my journey to learn programming. It may help me explain some concepts, but preferably not do any of the code for me.
