Grasp Key Concepts
When using any AI tool, keep these points in mind.
- AI as an "assist tool": Not a replacement for human thought and effort.
- Academic integrity: The importance of honesty and originality in academic work.
- AI limitations: Hallucinations, bias, and the lack of a human "voice" and critical thinking.
- The writing process: Writing is a process of drafting, revising, and editing, all of which makes you think deeply about your topic so you can explain it to your reader. In short: your writing is your thinking made solid and available to others.
