    AI & The Writing Center: The Online Writing Center is committed to helping students become better writers. While we are aware of AIs use in the writing process, we want to be clear that we will not provide certain types of feedback on content clearly generated by AI. In situations where this is required for an assignment, we will only review an AI-generated essay for documentation (APA, MLA, or Chicago). Students are encouraged to submit their own writing, no matter how rough the draft, instead of drafts generated by AI or Large Language Model. Students must engage actively in the writing process before seeking feedback.
