The big idea
Friends sometimes pressure you to use AI in ways you should not. Cheating on tests. Making fake content. Spreading rumors with AI fakes. Knowing how to push back matters.
Some examples
- Friend wants you to write their essay with AI: 'Sorry, I can't — I would feel bad lying.'
- Friend wants you to fake an image of someone: 'No, that is mean and could get us in real trouble.'
- Friend wants you to spread an AI rumor: 'No way. Stop.'
- It is okay to lose 'cool points' to do the right thing.
