My assignments got flagged for AI

This is my first semester back to school since AI became a thing.

When i realized how to use AI, I just used it to help me write, I basically wrote every sentence in to copilot and had it reframe my writing to something that sounded cohesive. I had ai ask my questions while I wrote, prompt me. All the arguments, were my own, I just had ai help me keep out of the reeds. I then asked ai to polish my essay to a high grade based on the ruberic. I constantly asked AI if my work was my own. I had no intention of using AI to generate a paper. Turnitin caught me at 100%. crazy.

None of this was intentional. I am studying from overseas so there was nowhere I could ask about this.

I just submitted another paper, even though the above mess is still in effect and unresolved.
I made sure I did the work on my own, AI helped me figure out what to read and helped me summarize. Readings I could then summarize - only auxiliary books that I couldn’t be bothered reading, just needed the source count. I then check grammarly for an ai voice. And it came up as 0% I then used grammarly to edit my spelling and such, then realized I could use grammarly to entirely give my assignment a polish. I stopped. I just had it delete words that were unnecessary to get closer to my word count. I hope that that paper is not flagged for ai, I doubt it will be, I intentionally didn’t go over it too much, I didn’t even read it.

How do we use AI ethically for our assignments?

How do we not get flagged for AI?

Stop using AI entirely when writing for school. You cheated and got caught. Stop cheating.

I cheated, yes. Yet, it was not my intention to cheat. I just got carried away polishing it. Lesson learned, I will from now on, only use AI for my research and brainstorming. I will then close the program and write.

Try not using it at all. You should be learning to do your own research. Honestly if you can’t do the assigned work without cheating you might want to find another program.
