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."
