Key points
- Ask your instructor directly rather than assuming a school-wide policy applies uniformly.
- Detector flags are not automatically treated as proof of a violation at most institutions with due-process policies.
- Using AI to over-rely on drafting rather than learning undermines the actual point of an assignment, independent of detection risk.
Institutional AI policies vary enormously — some universities permit AI as a drafting aid with disclosure, others prohibit it entirely for graded work. Understanding your specific institution's policy matters more than any tool's marketed bypass rate.
