Why students use text writer tool by Litero AI?

Why Use an AI Text Generator

AI writing has become one of the flagship products of AI, with good reason. The ability to produce text at a moment's notice without significant effort presents a clear advantage to anyone who writes, regardless of what they write or why they write. Text generators are far from new, but they've become more sophisticated and specialized as technology evolves. The variable of AI means the text these programs produce is no longer generic and basic; it's filled with complex sentences and ideas that accurately reflect a topic, approach, or argument. This gives users a lot of freedom when writing, especially in those moments when they need support the most. Using an AI text generator means writing better, faster, and with a lot less hassle.

How It Helps You

An AI text generator helps you by always being there, no matter what you need. You can give it prompts, ask it to finish a sentence, give a counterpoint, or write an introduction or conclusion. It all depends on what you need. It can also help you narrow down a topic if you don't know what to write or give you solutions for that weird problem just emailed you about. The possibilities are as endless as the situations that surround us, and AI writing can be the difference between a completed assignment and one that is almost, sort of done.

Works With You

It's easy to see AI writing as something completely separate from us where the AI controls everything and we're just there for the ride. The reality of this couldn't be more different. An AI text generator doesn't have a specific goal in the sense that it won't seek to make you do something or write something you don't want. AI works with you because you're the user, allowing you the freedom to think about what you want to do with your writing.

Relies on your prompts

An important misconception about AI is that the data it has means it will try to steer you away from what you're doing, but working with AI even for a few minutes shows this is not the case. When you use an AI writing generator, you need to give it some information, meaning the AI won't just give you a random topic or start writing about sushi and ice cream when you ask it to write about the history of golf. It relies on your prompts, and these can vary the more you use the AI even in a single session. Maybe asking about the history of golf is too broad, so tailoring it to be within a specific country or championship can give you better results, it's up to you!

Gives You Freedom to Explore Topics and Points

One of the main benefits of using something like an AI text generator is the time you save, but an often overlooked aspect of them is that you can just play around with them. If you've ever written anything, especially for school, you've probably had to delete entire sections or paragraphs because you realized they're not relevant or necessary to your assignment. This can be frustrating because that's time and effort you wasted. However, an AI writing program allows you to give it one of those prompts you're not entirely sure about just to see what it could look like. If it's worth it, you can expand it and do more research, but if it's not, you can just delete it and move on with minimal effort.

It's important to note that we don't use customer data for AI training, and commission any datasets we use for internal development. Also, we partner with GPTZero and Copyleaks to help students transition to AI-free and plagiarism-free work.
