A.I. in the Writing Center
Writing Center policy on working with AI-assisted writing tools
As AI-assisted writing tools (such as ChatGPT, Bard, CoPilot, etc.) gain popularity, they will be increasingly used in writing for college courses. As such, the GVSU writing center policy on AI-assisted writing focuses on two aspects:
- Regardless of your writing process, whatever paper/project you work on with a writing consultant, we want to help you make it better
- Writing Consultants are happy to assist you with AI-writing related tasks (such as prompt engineering, integrating ideas, citation, etc.)
As with any emerging debate, the Writing Center position on AI-assisted writing may continue to change along with the technology and its use.
Always check with your faculty, department, and/or discipline if you are unsure of whether you are allowed to use this technology. That said, this new technology has many applications for writers and the Writing Center is happy to assist you in using AI software in your work.
