OVERALL LABEL: Cyborg
Each author used AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, and CoPilot to help augment their writing and research. AI tools were used collaboratively to brainstorm the structure of the chapter and was used in some cases to provide examples of assignments. The authors iteratively revised and adapted all suggestions to align with the goals of the project and the needs of the intended audience. Further, the AI tools helped edit and refine language in the chapter. All AI output was vetted and verified by the authors.
