Noticed that Mimo, one of the ‘Duolingo but for coding’ educational apps I sometimes use, has started integrating the use of LLMs into its lessons, even on their free plan.

Whilst I don’t know how much we know yet about chatbot usage affects learning outcomes, and LLMs sure have their problems in general, it does at least reflect the tools I imagine most (?) professional coders use.

Sometimes the questions will specifically request that you ‘ask AI’.

A question asking you to add icons using Font Awesome by linking its stylesheet to an HTML file.

You do this via an integrated AI, which has the typical chatbot interface with the addition of an ‘explain this answer’ button.

Instructions for adding Font Awesome icons to an HTML file, including a code example for linking the stylesheet and using icons in HTML as given by the Mimo chatbot.
