The big idea
AI gives world-class line edits, but the rewrite has to come from your hand or it stops being your work.
Some examples
- Prompt: 'Critique this paragraph for clarity and flow. Don't rewrite it.'
- Ask AI to suggest 3 stronger verbs for one weak sentence.
- Have AI ask you 5 questions that would deepen your thesis.
Try it!
Take one paragraph from a current essay. Ask AI for 3 critiques and apply one yourself in your own words.
