Advice for my Android students about using AI?

I teach Introduction to Android Programming at a community college. I stress to my students the importance of learning the basics to build a foundation of knowledge in terms of developing apps, writing in Kotlin, designing app architecture, etc. At the same time, I do allow them to use AI tools because I also understand it's important for them to know how to do that. (I ask that they use them to help, not do.)

If anyone has any advice or words of wisdom to pass along to my students (who are new to Android), please share. In particular, I am hoping to reinforce the importance of learning the material for themselves (rather than relying on AI to do it for them) at this early point in their development.

I truly believe they have to learn the basics in order to be able to successfully use AI tools down the road. If anyone has any real-world anecdotes or thoughts that back this up, please share! (Or, if you disagree or have stories that contradict this, I'd love to hear those, too!)

Thanks in advance.

Bambu H2C vs H2S

Newbie here. My son has been saving up and is ready to purchase one of these printers. He has done a lot of research is still torn between these two models. The H2C is *just* in reach of his price point, but he'd rather not spend that much if it's not necessary for what he wants to do.

I know this group has a lot of information on these printers, and I've read through a lot of it. But I'm pretty new to this world so I don't fully understand a lot of the technical discussions. I was hoping to get some bottom-line opinions between these two given that the links below represent the kinds of things he wants to print.

He definitely wants to be able to print in multi-color. And I do understand the poop/waste distinction between the printers. Still just not sure what is the right fit.

Here are some examples of the types of things he wants to be able to print:
