Okay so I heard some kids in my dorm using ChatGPT for their essays. They said it's "just a tool like Google." But my professor said AI is cheating unless you use it "critically and ethically" .

I'm so confused. What does that even mean?? Like, can I ask it to explain things I don't understand? Can I have it check my grammar? Where's the line? 🫨

I saw this book that has a whole section about "AI and the writing process" and how to use it ethically . But I can't afford another textbook. My meal plan already costs too much.

Has anyone actually figured this out? Like, real examples of using AI without getting in trouble? I'm too scared to ask my professor because I don't want her to think I'm trying to cheat. 🥹
