– I couldn't see room for improvement in my own texts

Selma Breen, a master's student in international development, education and sustainability at OsloMet in Oslo, has stopped using AI altogether. "Jeg har gått helt bort fra KI," she says, which means "I have gone completely away from AI."

Early in her studies she used AI tools frequently. Over time, though, she came to feel that the drawbacks outweighed the benefits. Her main explanation is that she could no longer see where her own writing could be improved: "I couldn't see room for improvement in my own texts."

To avoid falling back on the technology, she removed the AI features from her web browser. The story, by journalist Kristin Krog Mehammer with photos by Eirik Helland Urke, is published under the headline about dropping AI in order to learn more, and it is tagged with education, students and artificial intelligence.

The material available here is only the opening of the piece, so it gives Breen's decision and her central reason but not further detail. It does not say which tools she used, how long she used them, or how her studies or writing have changed since she quit.

The story points to a question that universities and students are dealing with: whether routine reliance on AI writing help can weaken a student's own ability to judge and improve their work. Breen's account is one student's experience of that, and her conclusion is that stepping away from the tools was better for her learning.
