For school, ask your teacher what is allowed. Some professors are fine with AI for brainstorming but not writing. For research accuracy, official sources, journals and government pages still matter. AI is a guide, not the bibliography.

Answers & Discussion
I use AI in stages: brainstorm search terms, summarize sources, compare viewpoints and draft an outline. I do not ask it to invent the final answer from memory. The more source-grounded the task, the safer it feels.
Use tools that provide citations and then actually click the citations. Do not trust a source list just because it looks professional. I have seen AI cite the wrong page or misunderstand a study. Verification is part of the workflow.
