Synergy of AI and Project Based Learning (PBL)

How these thoughts came to me

Recently, I am pretty busy. Reasons are listed as follows:

1. I have multiple subjects taken in this semester and didn't really commit to understand the contents.
2. I have tons of assignments, but not being motivated to even deal with any of them.
3. I need to write a proposal for my ongoing FYP at next two semesters.
4. I have been a collaborator in a project, where my laziness prohibited my capability to learn context in existing code, and contribute.

All of them actually reminds me of my incompetency, in this case which is about coding. It is AI enlarging my laziness (my fault) because it is so tempting to obtain answers for what you need to struggle for at least hours.

Hence, I was thinking of a structured method to eliminate AI. It is indeed impossible, but the feasibility comes from partial implementation.

I wish to eliminate AI specifically for designing architecture and coding. I was learning Python before AI is this trendy, and I blindly inserted many global variable just to let my function execute. Indeed it was silly, but these silly mistakes build a usable foundation, which is indispensible for my growth.

Let me re-create this feeling and retain it, before placing myself in a production environment.

Hereby, I will limit myself to use AI to build a simple food delivery website, so that I achieve PBL by learning from AI instead of copying.

Further progress will be updated later.
