Can I trust AI to write my essay?

Hey guys, so I’ve been seeing a lot of people talking about AI writing essays, and I’m kinda curious... 🤖 Have you ever tried generating essays with AI? I wonder if it could write my essay on a good level, or will it just mess things up? I don’t wanna get in trouble for plagiarism or turn in something that sounds super robotic. Has anyone tried it? What’s your experience? LMK! 👀
 
Yeah, AI is cool and all, but I wouldn’t trust it 100% to write my essay. It can help generate ideas, outline stuff, or even write a first draft, but the writing can be kinda bland. 💩 Also, teachers are getting better at spotting AI-written essays, so you don’t wanna risk that. IMO, it’s better as a brainstorming tool rather than a full essay writer.

Exactly! I know that AI is great for research, but its writing feels super generic. I once tried using it for a descriptive essay, and it kept repeating the same points over and over. Had to rewrite half of it.🥴
 
AI essays are lowkey a trap 😂. They might help with brainstorming, but the writing is dry af and sometimes straight-up wrong. Plus, profs are catching on fast, so turning in AI work is a risky move. Better to use it as a helper, not a full-on ghostwriter. 🚩

I agree 100%. Trust my experience, because I already have a bad relationship with one professor because of this. 😕
 
I tried, it was a complete flop for me. Ai is getting better sure, but it still sounds generic AF

Lol, what happened with your professor? Spill the tea. 👀

Idk if this counts as good tea, but the situation was straight-up cringe. So, I’m studying marketing, and for some reason, I thought it’d be a great idea to add psychology this year. Like, makes sense, right? Marketing is all about understanding people’s minds. That’s how I ended up in this “Psychology in Advertising” class.

I was warned the professor was intense, and yeah… they weren’t lying. But honestly, dude knows his stuff, so we all respect (and lowkey fear) him. Anyway, we had to write this massive essay on the movie Focus—the one with Margot Robbie. I had already seen it, but never really analyzed it in terms of marketing and manipulation techniques.

And, well, life happened. I didn’t have time to rewatch, take notes, or do a deep dive. So I turned to ChatGPT for help. I didn’t exactly copy-paste, but let’s just say I didn’t read through it as carefully as I should’ve. Thought I could get away with it.

Spoiler alert: I did not.

Next thing I know, I’m being called in for a talk about whether I “wrote” my essay or if AI did. Apparently, it had some super generic phrasing and a pretty weak analysis for our specific field. So yeah, had to confess. And omg, I was so embarrassed I couldn’t even make eye contact in class for weeks.

Maybe it’s just my anxiety making it seem worse than it was, but I swear my rep took a hit. Wish me luck on the exam, lol. 😭
 
I don’t think AI should be writing essays for us, but it can definitely help. If you struggle with structuring essays, you can ask it for an outline or thesis ideas. That way, you still do the writing but with a clearer direction.

Yeah, using it for outlines is actually smart. I asked it to organize some facts once, and it helped a lot. Not letting it do all the thinking for you is a good move.👍

Yo, I’ve messed around with AI for essays before, and it’s kinda hit or miss. It can help with ideas and structure, but the writing can feel a little off or generic. Definitely don’t copy-paste - teachers are getting better at spotting it. If you use it, make sure to rewrite and add your own voice.
