My measly human brain, with my measly human hours left on earth, does not want to read your manuscript/assignment/thesis if you used #AI to help write it.

Good question, though I've never heard of this being a problem before. With this being a federal initiative to bring talent to Canada, I would be surprised if they started turning people down for residency who come in on this program. πŸ€”
