Should You Use AI to Write for You?

Your goal is to produce the best work you are capable of. If AI helps you do that, great.

Also be aware that the many highly talented people around you have high expectations for you and your work product, whereas LLMs are trained to produce text at the level of the average document on the web. Ask yourself whether you can do better, and understand that others will inevitably judge you by the work you put your name on.

(Harvard's AI policy for students has no content other than that individual faculty must adopt a policy and convey it to their classes. This is my student AI policy, but perhaps some others will also consider this as relevant advice.)
