When should I use AI tools like ChatGPT?
Generative AI tools like ChatGPT are not search engines, nor are they like library databases. They should not be used to discover facts, especially in situations where accurate information is essential (like health or finances)!
Instead, consider using tools like ChatGPT for tasks like these:
- Brainstorming and getting creatively unstuck
- Editing and constructive criticism of your writing
- Explaining concepts at multiple difficulty levels
- Summarizing long texts
-
other writing and text-related tasks.
Remember, different instructors will have different policies about the use of AI to support your coursework. Always ask your instructor before you begin your work whether you are allowed to use AI in their course.
