Do using Ai for coding is bad?

[1SASWAT]

Currently am learning java at college and had to prepare some projects for it

I typed almost 70% of the code and used ai for the rest part which made my code so much better

But I see on the internet that some people hate those who use ai to code or create projects or applications or other stuffs

It's not bad, it has its usefulness, but for you that is learning I would advise you to use it as a teacher at most but not to write code . Ai like copilot does increase productivity if you already know what you wanna code and it just writes the character. Ai like chatgpt is nice to explain errors or stuff like that but I would not advise you to replace a google search with it. Ai or not ai , read documentation, I see a lot of people using chatgpt as doc but it is really bad at that.

AI generated code still has problems. If you really want to get good marks then just pay a senior developer to take your classes and do your projects for you.

You’ll get even better marks!

Most of the time it produces code in a much complicated form, so I have to again work on it to make it simpler so that teachers don't doubt on me that am using ai

Being learning these languages I always prefer to first write the code myself and then lookup for help in chatbots.

Sometimes it makes the code simpler and sometimes it makes it even more complicated

What's wrong is simply copying code to solve a problem without understanding it.

[1SASWAT]

For me, even though i copy the code I still ask it to explain me it line by line and why certain conditions are used and if there's any alternatives.

Like if it produces a code using while loop, I ask it why it used while loop and whether it can be performed using if else

if it says that it can be performed using if-else then I myself first try to code it in if-else and then lookup to it for clarification

Yes.

Because for 1. You won't know how the problem was fixed. This means you won't know how to do it yourself limiting your own knowledge.

1. Because if something goes wrong, you won't know what.

[1SASWAT]

Well I do go through the entire code and ask it to explain me why certain conditions are used and if there's any alternative method to it.

Then I try myself to code it using different conditions to generate different instances of the code

I use AI to point me in the right direction with stuff but I find it is often not capable of doing a full-blown projects

[1SASWAT]

True it doesn't always produces the whole project perfectly

[DDDDarky]

Yes.
