1. If AI writes some code for you but you have never learned how code works, what problem might you face?

   1. You can never use the code that AI wrote
   2. You won't be able to tell if the code is correct or has mistakes
   3. You will automatically become a professional coder
   4. You will need to write all the code yourself instead

2. How do experienced coders typically use AI tools?

   1. They only use AI and never write any code themselves
   2. They use AI to go faster while still learning coding themselves
   3. They let AI do all the work so they don't have to learn anything
   4. They ask AI to solve problems they haven't tried to understand yet

3. Why is it useful to know how code works when AI writes code for you?

   1. So you can delete the code AI writes
   2. So you can find and fix mistakes that AI makes
   3. So you can make AI write code faster
   4. So you never have to write any code yourself

4. What does it mean to say AI is a 'helper' for coders?

   1. AI takes over completely and does everything
   2. AI makes coders unnecessary
   3. AI assists with tasks but doesn't replace the coder's brain
   4. AI only works for people who already know everything

5. If you want to get better at using AI to help with coding, what should you do?

   1. Keep learning how coding actually works
   2. Only watch videos about AI
   3. Avoid writing any code yourself
   4. Stop using AI until you know everything

6. What might happen if you only use AI to write code without learning coding yourself?

   1. You won't understand what the code does or if it's right
   2. You will automatically learn everything from the AI
   3. You will become a famous coder quickly
   4. You will never need to think about problems

7. According to this topic, why should you make your own 'coding goals' list?

   1. To remember which AI tools are the best
   2. To track skills you want to learn even though AI could do them for you
   3. To show AI what code to write next
   4. To list all the things you want AI to do for you
