Adding section on Getting Help and Generative AI

[josenino95]

Please briefly summarise the changes made in the pull request, and the reason(s) for making these changes.
At the end of episode 2 (01-intro-to-r.Rmd), I included a section about using Getting Help and using Generative AI. It should be a continuation on the exercise included in "Functions and their arguments" section, so I hope the first paragraph I added is able to make the connection with that callout.

These changes are based on the discussions had in the Carpentries community about integrating AI content into core lessons. Links to these discussion are provided below.

Besides including just content about AI, I also included content about getting help. As the original PR on this type of changes, including the discussion on AI as part of a section on how to get help allows a more gentle introduction to the topic.

If any relevant discussions have taken place elsewhere, please provide links to these.

• Carpentries Blog post about incorporation content about AI on lessons

• Slack message about GenAI updates to Carpentries lessons

• Original PR in SW Plotting and Programming in Python

• Other PR on SW R Novice Inflammation where there were comments on including a getting help section, not just the AI content

Thanks for your revision @juanfung. I wasn't sure if I could update this PR after it was merged, so I created another PR #551
