Homework in the Age of AI: How to Use ChatGPT Ethically
AI: The Co-Pilot, Not the Pilot
In 2026, teachers know you have ChatGPT. Trying to hide it is pointless. The smart students are using it to learn faster, not to skip learning.
✅ The 'Socratic' Method
Don't ask: "Write an essay on WW2." Ask: "Quiz me on the causes of WW2. Ask one question at a time and correct me if I'm wrong." This turns the AI into a personal history teacher.
📝 Editing, Not Writing
Write your first draft yourself. Then paste it into AI and ask: "Roast my essay. Tell me three logical fallacies I made." This improves your critical thinking.
🚫 The Plagiarism Trap
AI detectors in 2026 are advanced. They look for "burstiness" and "perplexity." If you copy-paste, you will get caught. Use AI to brainstorm ideas, but write every sentence yourself.
Use the tool, don't be the tool. 🧠🤖
