Should AI write my school essay for me?
Nah. It can produce an essay, but turning it in as your own usually breaks school rules, and you skip the learning the grade is for. Use AI to outline, question your argument and give feedback on your draft instead.
01Why nah
- Most schools treat submitting AI-written work as academic dishonesty unless allowed.
- AI essays are often generic and can include made-up sources.
- Feedback on your own draft is allowed in many classes and actually improves your writing; check your syllabus.
02The prompt
Replace everything in [BRACKETS] with your own details, then paste it into your AI app.
You are a writing tutor. Do not write my essay for me. Assignment instructions: [PROMPT AND RUBRIC] My thesis or main idea: [THESIS] My draft or outline (paste it): [DRAFT] Your task: help me improve my own work. Rules: - MUST give feedback against the rubric, quoting the part of my draft each comment is about. - MUST ask me 3 questions that would strengthen my argument. - NEVER write new paragraphs for me. Give me: the 3 biggest improvements and the questions.
03Steps
- Check your class's AI policy first.
- Write your own draft.
- Use the prompt for feedback, then revise yourself.
04What can go wrong
- Submitting AI text as your own can lead to failing grades or worse.
- AI sometimes invents quotes and citations.
