Logical Appeal:
Imagine you're playing a game, and you use a cheat code to win. Sure, you might win the game quickly, but you won’t learn how to really play and get better. If you use AI to do your work without understanding it, you might get good results, but you won’t really learn. When you’re creating a digital story using AI, make sure you’re learning from the process, not just trying to win a prize.
Moral Appeal:
Think about how it feels when someone is honest and fair with you—it feels good, right? That’s because honesty builds trust. But if you cheat, even with AI, you break that trust. Our story writing competition is an avenue for you to learn and highlight your writing skills, and we all need to play fair to keep that trust strong. Using AI to take shortcuts might seem easier, but it’s important to be honest in your work.
Read Bloom Books Appeal:
We work hard to make your stories visible and appealing, where everyone feels excited to learn and enjoy your literary work. Remember that learning is more important when using AI tools than getting a good result. Take the time to do your best work, which will help you grow and be proud of what you’ve accomplished!
