Using artificial Intelligence (AI) in school is often perceived as laziness, procrastination and a lack of effort. Though the topic of AI being used as a positive tool in school is rarely brought up. The fear of academic integrity being broken has shifted the minds of teachers to view AI as a monstrous entity made to strictly cause commotion in the classroom when really it has the potential to make a student’s job much easier without the risk and option of plagiarism. Ultimately, the student body’s access to AI sources is a necessary tool to boost academic performance and efficiency.
In my personal experience, studying for multiple tests, quizzes and exams can be brutal. Not only to memorize all the material, but also to build practice tests and study guides to help me retain knowledge quickly. Though nothing is more time-consuming than typing or writing away numerous terms and definitions onto a document or into a quizlet. Some may say that the making of these study tools is studying, though after a while, I find myself mindlessly copying the work without any focus on the actual terms. Using sites like ChatGPT to plug in your notes and receive custom study tools tailored to your academic needs is an extremely beneficial explain way to help improve your overall writing performance while using AI as a friend, not a foe.
AI has the potential to gather a variety of credible sources with just a single prompt. Reported by the Scholarly Kitchen, using AI to summarize and gather information creates a huge advantage with its efficient and personalized experience. Not only was I able to find this source with the help of AI, but it has the opportunity to guide to me to other ideas and research that would benefit both my topic and argument.With the help of AI, I was able to quickly locate a suitable source that supports its use to gather information promptly.
Looking back on studying, AI is a great tool for grammar, spelling and overall structure check, and quick feedback when writing. The instant feedback given from AI sites is necessary when cramming for exams or finishing an essay. Without purely plagiarising a sentence made by AI, you may find that the feedback given from an AI source can jumpstart where you may need to improve in a specific field. Not only does this show where you need to improve upon, but also how. The speed at which you gain guidance tops the research you may look into by searching for it.
The nasty name AI has been given, takes away from its true purpose, which is to make your life just a bit easier. With just a couple of clicks of your keyboard, sources, research, information, feedback and study tools are granted to fuel your academic success.
