No:
- Plagiarism concerns.
- AI will not be there to think and write for you during exams and in many real-world situations. You’re missing the chance to learn and develop your critical thinking and writing skills if you always seek AI without first trying on your own.
- AI may not always understand the subtle nuances of the complex topics you’re writing on.
- AI can be inaccurate and provide incorrect or outdated information.
However, AI can be helpful after completing your own work:
- Use AI for brainstorming when genuinely stuck, but always verify any facts.
- Use AI to organise your thoughts. It may reveal information, patterns and connections you’ve overlooked.
- Use AI to refine your phrasing and style, but only after you’ve written your essay or received teacher feedback.
Ultimately, AI is most helpful to those who already possess the skills and knowledge to recognise and spot inaccuracies.
