Here's how to fix this AI-attack, presumably at least (see screenshot) - although it does not solve the more general problem of handing over your work to a rather dubious for-profit organization whose account I have not had the heart to delete (yet).

This is what's so baffling about so many suggestions for AI in the humanities classroom: they mistake the product for the point. Writing outlines and essays is important not because you need to make outlines and essays but because that's how you learn to think with/through complex ideas.
