Edit or “Improve” Writing
Description
AIs are editors / authors / wordsmiths by programming. Paste your text in an AI and request it for suggestions on ways to improve your writing. Ask it for suggestions on transitions, thesis, argumentation, or other aspects of your writing. Some AIs, e.g. QuillBot, are just a cut and paste operation.
Comment
There are several dangers with using an AI for this purpose. All of the normal writing tools now have AI built-in; MS Word, Google Docs, and both versions of Grammarly. That means you may get flagged for AI because you followed the "suggestions" from your writing tool. Just fixing spelling or grammar should not be scoring as AI, but accepting entire rewritten sentences should. Students are now getting in trouble for this. You took classes on composition in High School and in College, the expectations is that you should write well. What the AI should do is improve transitions, tighten a thesis statement, recommend improving an argument, and such. YOU should write, but use the AI as a coach to improve what you wrote. YOU are responsible for all the content that is turned in, so also make sure the AI is factually correct.
** WARNING **
What is allowed in one class may not be in another. What is considered an approved USE of an AI may be considered MISUSE in another class. ALWAYS ASK YOUR INSTRUCTOR BEFORE YOU USE THE AI.
