How To: Use Generative AI at DBS

In this guide, we will discuss the proper use of GenAI technologies, like ChatGPT, Write Sonic, and more in an academic setting.

Proper Uses of GenAI in an Academic Setting

In the following examples, I used ChatGPT in ways that we view as acceptable in an academic setting. Please note, however, that it is still your responsibility to engage the information produced by ChatGPT critically and to make sure the work you produce is entirely your own. A rule of thumb: GenAI can be a great start and a terrible end for any assignment. In other words, use it as a jumping off point, but not as a final product. 

Note that when you use GenAI to help you identify a topic for your assignment or dissertation, what it produces should not be your final topic or research questions. Again, this is only useful as a jumping off point to help you get some motivation and momentum on your research.
