Is using AI cheating?

 The development of artificial intelligence has amazed me. I've been using AI a lot lately and I'm really surprised at how effective it is. I use it for many different purposes such as research, information verification, problem solving, and even recommendation. But besides that, there are also many arguments that using AI is cheating. I don't agree with this opinion, because I think AI is easy to use and completely free, so why doesn't everyone use it. And if everyone can use it, is it really cheating? Using AI is like using the internet years ago, at that time not everyone had access to the internet, making using the internet a huge advantage. I completely agree that overusing AI is not good, and you won't really learn anything by just copying everything from it. But we cannot deny the advantages and uses that AI has brought. I think getting acquainted with AI and using it as a tool is very necessary because this is the future we are always aiming for. What do you think about using AI? Please share your thoughts and feelings about it.
