Try it!

If you've ever seen something like this, write down the exact URL and date in your Notes app right now — that's evidence.

Practice this safely

Try this with a school, hobby, or family example where the stakes are low. Use the AI output as a draft you can question, not as the final answer.

Ask AI to explain AI harassment in plain language, then underline anything that sounds uncertain or too broad.
Give it one detail from "AI and Someone Generating Mean Essays About You" and ask for two possible next steps plus one reason each step might be wrong.
Check content takedown against a trusted source, teacher, adult, expert, or original document before you use it.
