is working through a problem with ai cheating?
I'm generally against the use of generative AI, but last semester I started to use chatgpt to explain and really talk through difficult problems from my classes that I couldn't understand from my professors or a YouTube video. I get tutoring and go to study groups still but I've always been the type of person that will learn much more at the start of a new concept from having a solution in front of me and then talking and working my way through how to get there than if i just stare at a blank problem with no direction, and chatgpt has become very helpful getting me to a place where I understand the concepts and practice problems enough to actually do my hw instead of just starting at it.
I know some people just outright copy+paste from chat gpt and I don't do that at all, (mostly because the calculations themselves are like always wrong even when the concept explanation or equation is correct lmao) but I certainly don't want to be cheating in any capacity, so I guess I'm basically asking if what I do counts as like an academic integrity violation?
