Have you used Generative AI, such as ChatGPT or Genie, to support you when writing your application?
This question is for transparency. Answer honestly; it will not affect your eligibility. While using Generative AI, such as ChatGPT or Genie, to support your application is acceptable, it is important not to use AI to simply cut and paste AI generated answers into your application. Rather it is useful to assist with research, check answers for errors, or help bring your responses under the word count. Please ensure that your use of AI aligns with these acceptable practices.
