What AI Research Assistants are good for me to use?
Answer
There are many new AI tools being created everyday but here are some favourites the library can recommend.
Remember: AI is only as useful as the person using it. Search carefully, check sources and always use your own original writing. If the AI text looks good, take the keywords and phrases to create your own text - don't copy-and-paste AI generated text.
