AI is a massive game changer in the field of technology but the best aspect of AI is that it makes some of the most complex creative and administrative tasks accessible to anyone. 

If you don’t know how to structure a sentence to sound more professional, you can just ask the AI to do it for you. If you hate having to write an entire paper in MLA style, you can just write the way you want and list a few sources, and, at the very end, just ask the tool to format it for you.
