I shouldn’t have to say this again, but the use of AI is strictly prohibited and will result in an automatic zero on the assignment. The use of AI twice in the course will result in failure of the course. The use of AI includes, but is not limited to, ChatGPT, Grammarly add-ons, Chegg, or literally any tool besides your brain that generates answers to these questions. I’m not here to play.
