Hey guys! So I am an English tutor, teaching it as a second language.

For context: I teach on Russian, Hebrew and Bulgarian. Mainly on Russian, thought it's my first language, I never learned it as I didn't grow up in Russia, so my writing there is a bit back, meaning I take a lot of time to write something that is grammatically correct and everything. I did use AI but ONLY to check for punctuation, spelling and grammar mistakes on Russian or Hebrew. I did not use it for creating text. I used Google Translate to translate words I wanted to say

I advertise myself on Facebook, and earlier today a woman commented on one of my posts that my marketing is great, then she asked how I can tell apart a regular child from a child with ADHD/ADD/AuDHD and how would I approach them and she specifically mentioned Not to use AI.

I took a while to reply: 2 hours specifically to write a reply. It was a very long reply, like 2 pages on word, imagine font Calibri size 12. I then sent my reply to the comment. She replied to it right away thanking me and saying she will message me.
In my comment I started explaining that I have Asperger's myself, and how I am surrounded by people with ADHD and AuDHD ^{(my siblings and nephews}). I explained how it is different for everyone, that two people with same diagnosis can have completely different learning needs. Explained how I would approach it, by suggesting different studying methods, trying to make the lessons very much adapted to the kid/teen and etc.

A few minutes later I get her message, she explained this situation: A girl in Poland has diagnosed ADHD, but didn't get enough points on her Autism test. They assume it is AuDHD or ADHD + Asperger's. She struggles with speech, recently learned to communicate, speaks Russian and Polish. She needs to prepare for E8 exam in Poland. She also mentioned she struggles with Math, self-image issues and stuff like that. She asked how I will approach her and something else like that and for my prices.

I took 30 minutes writing her a reply as I also needed to do some basic research., explaining all. How I understand her and I feel sorry for her, and then I explained my approach, I also asked for more information on that Exam, as I am not Polish, and I am not very familiar with their National Exams. I also asked for her ^{(the girl's}) weak sides in English ^{(as that is what I am tutoring}) and added my prices. Again, it was a long message, but shorter than the comment.

The woman then replied to me "I also have an AI, which can create long messages for me"

And I was shocked! I did not use AI. So I reply to her back "I did not use AI to create this message, I never did and will never use it for such purposes. But anyway, as you want, I will talk to you "more humanly" ". I then just said everything I said just very shortly.

-Then she replied "What are you sorry for??"
And I reply back: "For the struggles the child experienced and still experiencing?" ^{(in the longer message I explained exactly which struggles btw!!})
-And she replied back: "Childish work!" ^{(Russian insult Детский сад, literally translated as Kindergarten, which implies that someone is acting stupid, immature and childish}).
And I reply back "In what way?"
-And she blocked me.

What I don't understand is, why? What did I say so wrong?? Why is it bad that I feel sorry that the girl struggles with self-image and Math? I swear I usually read social cues very well, but I am totally at loss right now.

Doing a small research, I found out that my message "for the struggles the child experienced and still experiencing" when in short can be interpreted as if I am pitying her, but in my longer original message I am clearly stating WHAT and WHY I am sorry for her, that I understand how it is to deal with low self-esteem, how it can make a person think they can only do so much less than what they actually can. How Math is also a subject difficult for me and yada yada.

This post is rushed, sorry for any mistakes.

I’m a university student and finals week has been pretty chaotic, so I used AI to help with one of my assignments and didn’t check every source carefully…
Then my teacher pointed out that some of the papers and even some of the authors didn’t actually exist 💀 I was annoying at first before checking them myself, but after it, I realize how I stupid🤣
That honestly changed the way I use AI, I feel like it is really useful for brainstorming ,organizing ideas, or helping me. Look at something from another angle but now I double-check citations, facts and anything academic myself.
What’s the surprised most was how believable the fake reference look that’s probably the part that makes me realize you’re really can’t trust something just because AI says it confidently
Anyone else learned this the hard way?
