Read the following scenario carefully and reflect on the questions provided.
You are preparing assignment 2 for HRD3701. The deadline is approaching, and you are feeling
overwhelmed. A few of your peers have indicated that they used A.I tools, such as Chat GPT, to create
answers to the assessment to save time and improve their marks. You know that A.I can help with
creating answers, summarising and restructuring content, but you are unsure how much reliance on A.I
is acceptable. Additionally, you found some answers from online blogs and articles that are aligned
with the assessment activities. You cannot decide if you should use A.I or just copy the online
information into your document.
