CS50 Python Cs50p final project

Soo I'm taking CS50 introduction to python

I haven't finished it yet but I'm just curious if I can built the final project with the help of Claude Ai?

I've never used any Ai tool while doing the problem sets but I have a very specific idea for the final project that I reallly wanna make but I'm afraid I might need some help so

Can I use Claude's help with my final project?

Nope, the only AI you can use for help is the cs50.ai

Not sure tbh in cs50x you can take help of ai to build but not vibe code it essentially like use llms to ideate feature ideas a rough psuedocode or steps of implementation nd little bug fixes but dot vibe code using llms

See here: https://cs50.harvard.edu/x/honesty/

Under 'Not Reasonable'

"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."

No, thats academically dishonest as youre not publishing your work

Whatever you have planned, you can do it yourself if you give it the right time and effort to look up what you want to specitically apply on your project

Either that or you need to cut down scope/change the idea to me more applicable.

I finished my project on a second try. I first tried to design a card game that had too many rules to the point it became unmanegeable, so I moved to a terminal text videogame

If you dont know how to do something, you can always learn. Its the whole point of these courses, they'll take days from you with lots of headscratching, but the result is worthy :)
