Austin Z. Henley, along with Majeed Kazemitabaar, PhD student at the University of Toronto, co-wrote a paper on “CodeAid”, an AI-based programming assistant. CodeAid offers various features, like explaining code, generating pseudo-code, and suggesting fixes, all without providing direct solutions. Students found it helpful, although some were concerned about its directness and trustworthiness. Educators appreciated the structured assistance but worried about the impact on student learning. Suggestions were made for future AI assistants to enhance the educational experience. Despite some reservations, CodeAid proved to be a valuable resource for students in programming classes.
