There is no objection to benefiting from artificial intelligence in useful matters, as the default rule for beneficial things is permissibility. However, using artificial intelligence to write programming code for university assignments is not permissible, because it undermines the objectives of the assignments, which aim to train the student and measure their abilities. This is considered closer to cheating. If there is doubt, the course instructor should be asked.
