Discover the benefits and pitfalls of using AI in your studies, and learn how to use it responsibly to improve your revisions and notes without cheating. This guide is perfect for smart students who want to make the most of AI technology.
[...] To use AI without cheating, we must therefore know how to use it, but without stopping thinking, stopping being ourselves. No AI can, at least not yet, generate truly personalized content that corresponds in all points to the student's style. [...]
[...] Be aware of the pitfalls As we have just seen, the AI available on the market can prove to be valuable aids in studies. However, be careful, because there are many pitfalls and the limit between asking for help and cheating is sometimes very thin. We have just mentioned the advantages and all that AI could bring, but we cannot ignore the disadvantages, or at least, the main dangers of its use. - The search for ease, and the lack of personal reflection When AI is used in a cheating mindset, students are content with having their document written and submitting it as is or almost as is.

[...] This list is far from being complete, there are many others, and their number continues to increase over the years. In terms of pricing, each of the AI we've discussed offers a free version, which is often, as one might expect, limited, either in the number of searches per day, or in precision or speed. And tomorrow? AI in the future To conclude, we can ask ourselves how generative AI will work in several years. Given their rate of evolution, this is a perfectly legitimate question. [...]
[...] So, how to revise effectively and correctly with AI? Despite everything, and fortunately, it is possible to use AI responsibly without hindering one's own ethics or that of their institution. To begin with, pay attention to the formulation chosen when a student asks something to an AI. To avoid: 'write me entirely', 'propose me a complete plan on such a subject'.
