Use AI to Be More Kind, Not Less

Some kids use AI to be mean (deepfakes, harassment). The opposite is also true: AI can help you be MORE kind. Better thank-you notes, calmer disagreements, finding the right words for hard moments.

Some examples

• Use AI to write a heartfelt thank-you to a teacher who helped you.
• Use AI to draft an apology that is real, not defensive.
• Use AI to figure out what to say to a friend going through something hard.
• Use AI to make a kind comment under a friend's post (then add your real touch).

Try it!

Write a kind note to someone using AI for help. Send it. Notice how it feels.

Practice this safely

Try this with a low-stakes example and a trusted adult nearby. The goal is to notice how AI talks about good use, not to let it make the decision for you.

1. 1Ask AI to explain good use in plain language, then underline anything that sounds uncertain or too broad.
2. 2Give it one detail from "Use AI to Be More Kind, Not Less" and ask for two possible next steps plus one reason each step might be wrong.
3. 3Check saying no against a trusted source, teacher, adult, expert, or original document before you use it.
