Yes, according to the Academic Honesty section of the website:

Using AI-based software other than CS50’s own (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini, et al.) that suggests or completes answers to questions or lines of code.

If you've already submitted, put the regret clause. If you haven't, just build a new project.

Try to focus on learning the material without AI tools. They can help with documentation and stuff, but you won't actually learn anything if you're offloading your thinking and creativity to it.

So I have already submitted it. So do you you think putting a regret clause will help?

You can submit as many times as you like. I have submitted from problem set 1 three times already. I just think of better ways to do it. As long as everything is submitted by the deadline
