Important Reminder on AI Use and Privacy
Before we begin, I want to make something clear: AI tools can help with writing, but they should never be used to compromise anyone's privacy. Always protect personal data. Also, don't rely on AI-generated text for your manuscript. These tools are meant to support you, not replace your own ideas. For example, when we use Jenni AI in this course, it’s just to show how it can assist—not do the work for you. Always rely on your style and expertise.
