Article Four: The Dangers of AI 

Prompt: Write a 200 word article on the dangers of using AI for educational papers

In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has grown in popularity at a rapid rate as a tool to forge and create scholarly essays at the touch of a button. Although AI can be a beneficial resource to get yourself going on a paper, relying solely on AI for complete essays can be dangerous.

Plagiarism in any and all senses, is a violation of honors and ethics at most institutions. When quoting a person or resource, you must cite said source in order to acknowledge that the words are not directly coming from you. When using an AI system, it will often create its own information rather than using facts or evidence. This tool will create misinformation in your paper, resulting in inaccurate writing. 

AI program ChatGPT has gained a lot of attention in the recent months as it is being boosted on several social media platforms. Though AI can write full length papers within minutes, the information is almost entirely inaccurate. 

Rather than using AI systems to write entire papers, some students have used the resource to format papers, help with sentence structure or in order to help create a professional writing style, which are all services that Grammarly or even GoogleDocs provide. 

Overall, AI is a tool that can benefit students and teachers in some ways, but can still be harmful to the accuracy of educational writing.
