Q1: Do I have to use a specific AI system?
A: No, you don’t. You may use any large language model (such as DeepSeek, Claude, GPT, Gemini and Ernie Bot), and you can even use multiple systems simultaneously for comparison.
Q2: Does content generated by AI count as plagiarism?
A: It all depends on how you use it. If you simply ask AI to write a paper and then sign your name on it, this constitutes academic misconduct. However, if AI serves as your conversational partner to help you deepen your thinking, this is legitimate collaboration. You must honestly state the way AI was involved in the appendix.
