Making fun of someone using AI tools is still bullying.

The big idea
Making fun of someone using AI tools is still bullying.
Some examples
- A mean AI picture or song can really hurt
- Sharing AI jokes about a kid is not a joke to them
- School rules count for AI stuff too
- If it would hurt face-to-face, it hurts online
Try it!
Look at the last AI thing you saw shared. Ask yourself: would that hurt the person it's about?
Practice this safely
Try this with a low-stakes example and a trusted adult nearby. The goal is to notice how AI talks about bullying, not to let it make the decision for you.
- 1Ask AI to explain bullying in plain language, then underline anything that sounds uncertain or too broad.
- 2Give it one detail from "AI and not bullying classmates with AI" and ask for two possible next steps plus one reason each step might be wrong.
- 3Check kindness against a trusted source, teacher, adult, expert, or original document before you use it.
