Writing 120: Hidden Curricula - AI, Scifi, Gaming & the Human

General tips on AI and research

  • Follow the policy from your instructor in each class. No policy? Ask before using AI in your coursework.
  • AI is better for preparing for a search than for identifying specific books, articles, or other sources.
    • generate a list of search terms
    • find background information to better understand a topic or idea
    • identify people, locations, and events related to a topic
  • Verify sources generated by AI. Avoid citing AI hallucinations (sources that don't exist).
