I’ve experienced the use of generative AI in my learning. I often use it to help me understand difficult topics more clearly, especially when the explanation in class or the textbook feels too complex. Sometimes I’ll ask it to break down a concept in simpler terms or give me examples to make sense of it. It’s also helpful when I’m writing essays—I use it to brainstorm ideas, get feedback on my drafts, and even check for grammar mistakes. When I study, I might ask it to quiz me or summarize my notes. It’s kind of like having a tutor available anytime, though I still try to make sure I understand things on my own and don’t just rely on it for answers.
As a student i have used quite a number of generative AI tools without realizing it. I have used tools like stable diffusion, midjourney and Microsoft copilot for a lot of things such as image creation and information acquisition. In the coming days i really look forward to the improvement of free and wide accessible tools for students that we can incorporate in our studying journey such as personal tutors, visual generation tools.
