AI and not using AI to tease people

Using AI to make fun of someone is still bullying — and it can really hurt.

Some examples

• Do not ask AI to make a mean cartoon of a classmate.
• Do not use AI to write a mean poem about anyone.
• If a friend tries to, you can say 'no thanks, that is not cool.'

Try it!

Think of a fun, kind way to use AI with friends — like a silly story everyone laughs at together.

AI bullying hurts just as much as any other kind

Using AI to tease, mock, or hurt someone is still bullying — even if it feels like 'just a joke' or 'just a picture.' AI makes it easy to create mean cartoons, write mean poems, or generate fake images that make someone look silly or bad. The person on the other end of that content does not care that AI made it. They feel hurt by it. AI-powered teasing can spread fast — one image shared in a group chat can reach dozens of people in seconds. That makes AI bullying more powerful and more harmful than passing a mean note in class. There are also consequences: schools have rules against cyberbullying, and those rules apply to AI-made content too. Adults can see group chat histories. There is also a better use for these tools: AI can help you make things that are genuinely fun and kind — silly stories that everyone laughs at together, creative games, or funny characters that do not target anyone. The creativity is yours. Point it somewhere good.

• Mean AI content still hurts — the tool does not change the impact
• AI-made bullying can spread faster than other kinds
• Schools treat AI-assisted cyberbullying the same as other bullying
• Use AI for fun, creative, kind projects instead
