Section 1
Honesty Is the Best Policy
Some teachers love when you use AI. Others are not into it. Some have specific rules. The smart move is always: ask first, and tell the truth about what you did.
Three honest sentences
- "Can I use AI to help me brainstorm ideas?"
- "I used AI to check my spelling."
- "I asked AI to explain this word — then I wrote about it in my own words."
When AI = cheating
If your teacher says "do this on your own" and you have AI write it for you, that is cheating. But brainstorming, checking spelling, or learning a word? Usually fine — just check the rules first.
