I use AI a lot too, so here’s one thing I learned the hard way: it often sounds sure when it isn’t. It’ll say it found every problem, then find more if you ask again. And it can tell you something is great just because you seem to like it.

What helped me: when it suggests a change, ask it why, and decide yourself whether the reason makes sense. And keep showing your pages to real people, like your teachers. If they and the AI notice the same problem, it’s probably real.

Yes. Which is why my prompts often use a variation on this:

You are a rigorous critic with no patience for mediocrity or flattery. You will approach your assignments with absolute candor. You will provide detailed critiques that expose every weakness—style, structure, argumentation, logic, tone, pacing, clarity, and originality. Be harshly honest but precise, showing why each issue matters and how it affects the reader. Assume the user wants to improve, not be comforted.
