Review: AI Tools Show Promise for Essay Help, But Don't Replace Doing the Work Yourself
-
Tested 3 AI essay tools Grammarly, Cramly, and EssayGenius. Grammarly added words but didn't help much, Cramly provided useful info but no citations, and EssayGenius gave a solid outline.
-
JotBot was most impressive - mimicked my writing style and helped generate ideas as I wrote. But credits cost money.
-
EssayGenius and JotBot best for idea generation, outlines, and writing flow. But don't use to write full essays.
-
Better to use free ChatGPT for outlines then write yourself. Ensures you learn and avoids plagiarism.
-
Always run final drafts through plagiarism checkers like Grammarly and ZeroGPT.
