<br>
"[AI](https://bskagvs.in) assisted me comprehend things more quickly, especially when handling complex topics," she discussed.<br>
<br>However, she remembered a circumstances when she used [AI](https://zementol.ch) to submit her job, only for her lecturer to instantly recognize that it was generated by ChatGPT and reject it. Eniola kept in mind that it was a good-bad result.<br>
