Evidence passage recorded against the source
You may therefore wish to use AI tools as prompts for ideas or to assist in research when preparing your personal statement, but you should note that an over-reliance on AI carries risks: It may generate false claims ('hallucination'). If these are about your personal achievements, they will be treated like any other application fraud. It may produce poor quality output, weakening your chance of success.
