Honestly, the easiest way to avoid trouble is just to not use #AI. The second easiest way is to use AI to help you brainstorm or help you reorganize something you've written but you're struggling to tame. #ChatGPT

Last semester four of my smart students handed in really good assignments (four separate assignments) and somehow I managed to make this into one academic paper that will be published in December under all five of our names. Honestly it's a great paper, I can't wait to assign it to students in 2026!
