GenAI tools can be helpful for research, idea generation, summarising content and problem-solving. But remember that Gen AI should complement your critical thinking and decision-making processes, not replace them.
Use these tools support your work, but always engage with the material and apply your own insights and analysis.
While GenAI can provide vast amounts of information quickly, it doesn't have the nuanced understanding and contextual awareness that you do.
GenAI can produce incorrect or biased information, so it's up to you to critically evaluate and cross-reference AI-generated content with credible sources.
By being aware of these limitations, you can decide when and how to use GenAI effectively, so your work remains accurate, ethical, and reflects your own understanding.
You need to learn how to question, analyse, and synthesise information on your own, using Gen AI as a supplementary tool rather than relying on it. This will help you learn more deeply and build the skills needed for academic and professional success.
As a student, your critical thinking skills are invaluable. Don’t blindly accept AI-generated content. Assess its relevance, accuracy, and appropriateness. Customise AI output to what you need. Modify, paraphrase or adjust outputs as needed.
By striking a balance between generative AI and your own judgment, you’ll maximise the benefits of both.
