While these AI-driven tools can enhance access to information and support critical thinking, they also pose risks like potential overreliance and ethical concerns. To ensure ethical use, students and instructors must recognize the limitations of LLMs, maintain academic integrity, handle data cautiously, and instructors should prioritize content quality over AI detection methods.
