> sshine reply above is coming from a very conflictual mindset. "Can I still use AI and not be caught? Is it cheating? Does it matter if it's cheating?" First off: Since your opinion is the popular one, "sshine reply below". ;-) Those are not questions I ask. Using AI is never cheating, you're optimizing for the wrong thing. Cheating occurs in games. You can use AI, but if your writing ability is so far from what's expected, AI will just make that obvious (sludge). If it's not far off, and you use it as one might use spellcheck or Grammarly, it's like wearing fake heels at an audition: To get noticed. Just don't come on stilts.
