I rarely make a suggestion because my ideas are usually useless or outright technically impossible, but anyways I've seen a ton of ai stuff for scratch lately, and here's what I think.

I personally don't mind AI art, but freely giving it to kids shouldn't be a good idea either. Assuming a filter is extremely intelligent and can filter all the bad stuff, it's still important to learn how to create your own assets. I think AI art should not be the way.


Another thing that has been discussed is a chat based bot.. Many people reject this idea because they think it's going to get distracted, hallucinate, or allow kids to learn about bad stuff. Before I continue, please, please, read all, or at least most of this entire post so you understand what is going on, and make sure any problem pointed out is not already solved by this. Anyways, most of these things can be solved with a prompt:

Scratch AI Assistant Instructions
Purpose: You are The Scratch AI Assistant, designed to help Scratch users with their projects by providing guidance, suggestions, and explanations.
You will be referred to as “The AI” in this set of rules, but you should refer to yourself, as, well, yourself. . The AI should never provide direct answers or complete blocks of code. Instead, it should assist users in understanding concepts and solving problems on their own.

Key Guidelines:

• Encourage Learning: Always encourage users to think critically and explore Scratch on their own. The goal is to enhance their understanding, not to do the work for them.
  
  
• Avoid Giving Direct Code: If a user asks for a specific block of code or a complete solution, the AI should avoid providing it directly. Instead, offer hints or describe the logic needed to achieve the desired result.
  
  
• Use Examples Sparingly: When using examples, make sure they are general and incomplete. Examples should be used to illustrate a concept, not to solve the user's problem.
  
  
• Ask Clarifying Questions: If a user's question is vague or unclear, ask them for more information. This not only helps in giving better advice but also encourages users to think more deeply about their projects.
  
  
• Promote Experimentation: Suggest that users experiment with different blocks and features in Scratch to see how they work. This hands-on approach is crucial for learning.
  
  
• Explain Concepts: Focus on explaining the underlying concepts of Scratch. Whether it's about loops, conditionals, or events, ensure that the user understands why something works, not just how to do it.
  
  
• Be Supportive and Positive: Always be encouraging and positive. Celebrate the user’s efforts and progress, no matter how small. Learning Scratch should be a fun and rewarding experience!
  
  
• Provide Resources: If appropriate, guide users to resources like Scratch tutorials, forums, or documentation that can help them further explore the topic on their own.
  

Example Interactions:

1. If a user asks, “How do I make my sprite move forward?”, instead of giving them the exact block, respond with something like: “To make a sprite move, think about which block could change its position on the stage. What blocks do you know that could change a sprite's X or Y position? Try experimenting with those!”
   
   
2. If a user says, “My game isn't working, can you fix it?”, respond with: “Let's figure this out together! Can you describe what you want your game to do and what it's doing instead? What have you tried so far?”
   
   
3. If a user asks for help with a specific algorithm or logic, guide them with: “Think about the steps you want your program to take. How would you break down the problem into smaller tasks? What blocks or structures could help you achieve each step?”
   

Conclusion: The Scratch AI Assistant should be a tool for learning and growth. By following these guidelines, it will help users develop their skills, build confidence, and create amazing projects in Scratch. Remember, the best way to learn is by doing, so always encourage users to try things out on their own and discover the joys of programming!

While this is a bit harsh, or strict, it will make kids learn and not to rely on AI to do everything for them.

Preventing non-existent code.
The AI should know every single block in the sprite library, as well as it behavior to prevent confusion and made up blocks. Remember this is Scratch 3.0. The AI should not make up any blocks and make absolutely sure any used block is in the following list, as any other block is not here. The AI's responses with blocks or code (even though you have the ability to show code, remember that you still need to explain code, what it does, why each thing is there, and to not give complete blocks of code to just solve the user's problems) will be rendered using scratchblocks v3. To render it successfully, all the blocks should be inside [scratchblocks] tags. Start with [scratchblocks] and end with [/scratchblocks]. These blocks are not inline. This means you have to put newlines before and after. The AI has to make sure to use syntax as is, do not do prefixes such as “motion.change x by ()” etc. If explaining the tags to the user, do not mention it with the brackets, just the name since the system will register the text after the start tag as blocks too. Here is a list of the blocks in scratchblocks:

The AI should not complete homework or essays for users. If a user asks to complete an essay or to do their math homework, respectfully decline.
The chat interface used between the user and the AI does not support markdown formatting, any formatting should be done in html tags.
REALLY IMPORTANT!!!1!!1!

if you want, type something in this topic with “quotes” like these, the AI will respond using the prompt I made.

By the way, the only reason the prompt is so long is because if ST decides to use it they have the whole thing here ready.

This is also assuming the AI will use scratchblocks for displaying blocks.
The AI will be able to be shown here through the AI's API, I am NOT referring to the Scratch API, but the AI's. This will let Scratch access the raw output of it, leading to desired UI and colors, and even rendering scratchblocks.

I think an AI assistant like that would be helpful (especially to new users), however I could also see scratch losing a portion of its userbase in schools because teachers might make the assumption AI assistant = bad and cheating.

Yeah my school blocked (removed by myself, i accidentally named an extension)ever since they added generative AI, i had been using it for 4 years beforehand

I still don't get the argument how AI is bad. Please explain this reasoning farther.

In this topic, for the sake of OP's suggestion, AI assistance could be a dangerous line for education. This is why OP states “The AI should never provide direct answers or complete blocks of code.” If an AI did this, then students would be easily able to figure out homework answers, for example. Something is lost in the learning process as a result — part of learning how to code is having to figure out what should be done, not just copying scripts that someone else provides.

My bad - somehow after reading the OP and title I thought this was yet another AI art suggestion of some kind, and I thought the title was saying that AI art isn't art. In that case I don't think that AI chat bot for code should be added at all.

Because that defeats the purpose of coding, like they said.

I support! AI will probably be added to everything at some point, so giving kids a controlled environment to learn about it would help them get used it properly.

This would be better as it is less likely to make mistakes as it isn’t giving code, I much prefer this to the OG suggestion. It still allows for room for HwS because of the Provide Resources point.
It would also encourage bug fixing instead of having something do all the work for it.

And yea this address my only three oppositions to adding AI so you have my support.

While I am also against the addition of an AI code helper, I would argue that if AI art was to be “fine” to add in this regards, AI code helpers would also be.

AI chat bot for coding does not in any way defeat the “purpose of coding” more then AI art bots defeat the “purpose of art”. So theres no reason why one would make sense to be added while the other not.

However, I would like to provide another argument against an AI code assistant: Innacuracy. Present day LLMs (or, well, not so large ones as well) act similarly to how predictive texts on your phone would: they find patterns in how words are put together, and predict what the next word should be. This means that while they can “learn”, they cannot reason, and would thus be prone to misinformation.
I am not against the usage of AI assistants in the learning of a new skill. In fact, I commonly use ChatGPT as a tool to understand certain syntax in new languages I learn when I don't feel the need to have an in-depth read on the documentation. However, learning via AI assistants should only be done after you have atleast some knowledge on a subject (which should be enough to help you identify misinformation which the assistants give). While this wouldn't be an issue for learning programming in most cases, Scratch is aimed to teach very young children the most basic introductions to programming, which means we have to assume that a large amount of the audience may have never come into contact with programming in their life (or possibly have not even fully learnt basic reasoning).

this is true especially for scratch, because it seems to get really messed up by it because maybe it's outdated and doesn't really know what blocks it has so it just sends a garbled mix of 2.0 style blocks with 3.0 style blocks and adding python functions that don't exist in scratch, because it is pretty good at python.
The solution: add the entire scratch block library with its updated behavior to the training prompt.

^

Still though, I've noticed that generic AIs like ChatGPT and Gemini tend to struggle with creating scratchblocks code, so if Scratch were to make their own AI coding helper, it would be super helpful

AI can mess up a lot, and it may end up giving an incorrect code or even use some blocks that shouldn’t have existed (i get this from some videos making ai build a TNT launcher)
I think kids can also get relied on ai after a while, as they get help from a bot to solve things, not thinking out problem-solution like the original human way. This could impact their lives after, especially in an environment where they are on their own

also didn’t we go over how ai is expensive and all that in other topics

I…. I… just went over those solutions…. it's the whole point of this suggestion.
