A good text, though, only emerges once you read the draft, correct it and add what only you know.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pbn-summary\"><strong>In short:<\/strong> tell the chatbot what you are writing, for whom, in what tone and at what length. Always edit the draft yourself and check every fact. At school or university, follow your institution&#8217;s rules; for public content, the EU has applied transparency rules on AI-generated material since 2 August 2026.<\/div>\n<h2>Which texts AI handles well<\/h2>\n<p>Language models learn from patterns in language, so they are strongest with texts that have a clear form and familiar content. They are weaker where personal experience, precise facts or an original voice matter.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Type of text<\/th>\n<th>Where it helps<\/th>\n<th>What to watch<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Emails and letters<\/td>\n<td>polite tone, clear structure, a shorter version<\/td>\n<td>correct titles, dates and names<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Summaries<\/td>\n<td>pulling the essentials from a long document<\/td>\n<td>exceptions and conditions left out<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Web and social media posts<\/td>\n<td>ideas, headlines, several versions to choose from<\/td>\n<td>generic phrases with no substance<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Essays and academic work<\/td>\n<td>brainstorming, chapter outlines, language checks<\/td>\n<td>invented sources, institutional rules<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Applications and CVs<\/td>\n<td>a tidy, concise account of your experience<\/td>\n<td>exaggeration, sounding like every other candidate<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>For personal texts such as greetings, speeches or memories, AI can be a starting point, but readers will only feel the warmth once you add specific recollections and your own way of putting things.<\/p>\n<h2>How to write a good prompt<\/h2>\n<p>The quality of the answer depends heavily on the prompt. A bare request like &#8220;write a text about healthy eating&#8221; returns something generic and predictable. A precise prompt returns something you can work with.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/mislec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/umetna-inteligenca-pisanje-besedil-620822-1024x680.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Hands typing on a laptop keyboard\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mislec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/umetna-inteligenca-pisanje-besedil-620822-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mislec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/umetna-inteligenca-pisanje-besedil-620822-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mislec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/umetna-inteligenca-pisanje-besedil-620822-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mislec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/umetna-inteligenca-pisanje-besedil-620822.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<h3>Five ingredients of a useful prompt<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Purpose<\/strong> \u2013 what the text should achieve: inform, persuade, apologise, invite.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reader<\/strong> \u2013 who it is for: colleagues, pupils&#8217; parents, customers, a committee.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tone and style<\/strong> \u2013 formal, relaxed, expert.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Length and format<\/strong> \u2013 word count, paragraphs, bullet points, headline.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Material<\/strong> \u2013 your notes, the key facts and, if you have one, an example of writing you like.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Example: &#8220;Write a polite email to the parents of Year 3 pupils. Tell them the science field trip has moved to Friday. Formal tone, no more than 120 words, no flowery phrases.&#8221; It takes a few seconds longer to write and saves several rounds of corrections.<\/p>\n<h3>Ask questions, not just commands<\/h3>\n<p>You can also ask AI about your own text: what is unclear, what objections a reader might raise, which paragraph could go. You can even ask it to put three questions to you about what is still missing before it starts writing. That conversation is often more useful than the first draft, because it makes you think about the content.<\/p>\n<h2>Editing: from draft to your own text<\/h2>\n<p>An AI draft is raw material. When you read it through, check above all:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>grammar in smaller languages<\/strong> \u2013 models still slip in languages with less training data, such as Slovenian, for example in the dual form or noun cases;<\/li>\n<li><strong>tone<\/strong> \u2013 an over-eager, salesy register that does not match you or your reader;<\/li>\n<li><strong>facts<\/strong> \u2013 names, dates, amounts, legal provisions and quotes that sound convincing but are not true;<\/li>\n<li><strong>empty phrases<\/strong> \u2013 generic openings and conclusions that tell the reader nothing new.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Check facts against the original source. Reading aloud is a good test: if a sentence does not sound like something you would say, rephrase it.<\/p>\n<h2>AI in education: what is allowed<\/h2>\n<p>Schools and universities each regulate AI differently, so read your institution&#8217;s rules and your teacher&#8217;s instructions first. One example from Slovenia: the University of Novo Mesto&#8217;s guidelines, in force since 1 October 2023, allow AI for language checks, translation support, idea generation and starting points for your own work, but the tool must always be cited. The prompt and the program&#8217;s response also go into an appendix.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/mislec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/umetna-inteligenca-pisanje-besedil-10406900-1024x684.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"A student writing notes in a notebook in a library\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mislec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/umetna-inteligenca-pisanje-besedil-10406900-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mislec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/umetna-inteligenca-pisanje-besedil-10406900-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mislec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/umetna-inteligenca-pisanje-besedil-10406900-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mislec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/umetna-inteligenca-pisanje-besedil-10406900-930x620.jpg 930w, https:\/\/mislec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/umetna-inteligenca-pisanje-besedil-10406900.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>What is forbidden above all is passing off generated text as your own, submitting unverified paragraphs in coursework, using AI in exams (unless the assessment is designed for it) and running a text through several languages to disguise similarity. The guidelines also warn against entering confidential data into public tools. Similar principles, transparency, personal responsibility and verification, appear in most institutions&#8217; rules.<\/p>\n<h2>Publishing, labelling and authorship<\/h2>\n<p>Since 2 August 2026, the transparency rules in Article 50 of the EU AI Act have applied. Tool providers must mark generated content in a machine-readable way. Anyone who uses AI to produce text published to inform the public on matters of public interest must, as a rule, disclose it. The obligation does not apply where the content has undergone human review or editorial control and a specific person holds editorial responsibility. In Slovenia, compliance is supervised by the communications agency AKOS, which has also published optional Slovenian labelling icons. The Slovenian government summarised the rules in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.si\/novice\/2026-08-03-zacela-so-se-uporabljati-pravila-o-preglednosti-sistemov-umetne-inteligence\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">notice (in Slovenian)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>None of this applies to a private email or job application, but responsibility for the content is always yours. Authorship is also an open question: copyright law generally protects works created by a human. The more of your own creative contribution a text contains, the stronger your position if a dispute ever arises.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<h3>Can AI write my seminar paper for me?<\/h3>\n<p>Technically yes, but most schools and universities treat it as misconduct. Help with ideas, outlining and language checks is usually allowed, as long as you name the tool.<\/p>\n<h3>Do I have to label text written with AI?<\/h3>\n<p>Not for private texts. For texts published to inform the public, the EU has required disclosure since 2 August 2026, unless a human reviewed the text and someone holds editorial responsibility for it.<\/p>\n<h3>Which tool writes best?<\/h3>\n<p>There is no single winner. Try the same prompt in two tools and keep the better answer, then proofread it either way.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you tell whether a text was written by AI?<\/h3>\n<p>Detectors exist but are unreliable and err in both directions.
