Classroom AI Use: What’s Cheating? What’s Ok?

From the book AI for Educators by Matt Miller.

A list of questions ranging from More AI Creation to More Human Work, on a scale of 1 to 11 as follows:

  1. AI does student work for them with no thought by the student.
  2. AI writes content but student edits it based on learning from class.
  3. Student rewrites AI-generated content with own improvement ideas.
  4. AI generates multiple drafts; student chooses best parts of AI drafts.
  5. 5. AI guides student through writing process as a “writing coach.”
  6. Student creates content until stuck; asks AI for help to get “unstuck."
  7. Student writes a draft; AI writes a draft; student adds best AI ideas.
  8. Student gathers stats/research via AI but creates all content on own
  9. Student consults internet/AI for writing ideas but creates content on won.
  10. Student writes all content but asks AI for feedback to improve.
  11. Student does all work without any assistance from AI, the internet, etc.

Questions to ask: What’s OK? What’s not? For whom? For what work? Under what circumstances? What work best prepares students for THEIR future? Where do you draw the line for your students? At what point is it student’s work and no longer AI?
