Should I use AI?

So it's the start of DP2 for me, and obviously the IAs and the EE and the TOK essay are coming up. And, this post is NOT me telling that, you know, I wanna use AI but the teachers and you guys are telling me not to. It's the opposite, actually. I am SICK AND TIRED of using AI for every freaking question, idea or paragraph. It's like I've lost all my creativity and chosen the 'easy' route.

See, the thing is, I know how to use AI the proper way. I ofc don't ask it to write the text or draw graphs. It's best used for general ideas, quick bullet points, planning, and source searching. Not to mention, my the teachers also strongly advise using AI, and like 95% of the class uses AI too, in some way or another.

Overall, I just feel like realistically I'll do a better job with this proper use of AI but I really don't wanna do it.
