The AI Tutor is for educational guidance only. It cannot connect to a real IBM i system, execute code, or analyze production code. Opening it from here shares this lesson's title and content so it can answer questions about it directly, without leaving this page.

Try asking: “What is a copy member, and how does it help keep a prototype consistent across several calling programs?”
