To stay on the safe side:
- Don't submit AI-generated writing as your own unless your instructor explicitly allows it.
- Use AI as a starting point, not the final product. Use it to check your wording or explain complicated topics. Do not use it as a means to get out of doing work.
- Cite the tool if you include AI-generated text, ideas, or images in your assignment.
- Treat AI like any source--quote, paragraphs, and reference properly.
We explain how to do this on the Citing AI tools page.
