New to AI? A short starting point
Some AI tools generate drafts from patterns in data and the instructions you give them. Fluent wording is not evidence: a draft can invent details, omit conditions or be inappropriate for the task. These fixed fictional exercises practise your judgement without using a live tool. Not using AI can be a good choice.
