No, those are not cheating. However, it's cheating when your kid types his math problems into Google and just enters them into an autovalidating document. If coding exercises are simple and working code can be acquired brainlessly by typing the problem statement into ChatGPTNext, then yes I'd consider that cheating (both in the direct sense of violating the rules of the course and in the sense of the learner cheating him/herself out of the value of the exercise).
As a side note, the type of math "education" I describe above is worse than useless, as the autovalidator rejects correct answers that aren't entered exactly as the form expects, and has no facility for or requirement to show one's work. It's literally just teaching kids to Google and answer and then shotgun it into the form with random permutations until they get a green checkmark.
