As someone who's used machine translation as a tool to learn 2 human languages, which I eventually gained fluency in, I'm really tired of AI being considered "cheating". Yes, you can use it to approximate answers to questions and be fairly certain those answers are correct. But you can also use it as a tool in your learning process to help you fill in the gaps until you're all the way there. In language, it's quite obvious that using the language will increase your abilities over time. In programming, that may not be so intuitive, but it's also true. The more software you build, the more you will understand about building software well, even if you use Copilot to help write your algorithms. I think the "problem" here is that tools like this make it difficult to enforce that others learn something. But for self-directed people, who are committed to learning and understanding what they are doing, AI is more of a useful tool than a cheat.
