Advice for Using AI in This Course

• Should you use AI when learning to code? This educator says no, and although he makes some good points, I think this is a more balanced approach.
• Some insight into what it is like to “vibe code” 😊

One of the goals for this course is to become fluent in C++ which you will not be able to do if you use AI as a crutch. Do not use AI to generate solutions for the handouts, labs or project. Remember that you need to pass the test, and the exam, without the help of AI.
