VS Code now by defaults activates all AI features, and students don't disable them. This hampers their learning experience. This partial explains how to disable AI features in VS Code. We also mention that later on we can re-enable them. Working via the Command Palette is the easiest way to do it. - The settings menu option is in a different place on Windows / macOS. - The menu option opens the JSON settings by default, which is more complex and error-prone for students. Fixes lewagon/teachers#3503

This looks good to me but we say:
At the right point in the course, we’ll reenable them
Are we planning on adding a moment to all courses in which we say to reenable it?
For web dev, I guess we could add a slide to the AI-assisted code lecture

Yes, thinking similarly for DS. We talk about using LLMs quite early (unit 5), but I'd reenable the full suite only when we go into projects. |

Making this partial here so it can be easily reused across the other setups. @ajdubovoy I didn't include it in the
build.rbyet so you have to liberty to include it if/when you want.Once agreed on the EN version, I can use AI to create the translations.
