Keep, Cut, or Change
The AI gives you a first try — YOU decide what to keep, what to cut, and what to change.
Kavi's Rough Draft
Kavi the owl asks an AI to write a poem about the moon. It writes four lines. Kavi reads them slowly. "This first line is lovely — I'll keep it! This one says the moon is hot… that's wrong, I'll cut it. And this one I'll change into my own words." By the end, the poem is partly the AI's and mostly Kavi's. "The AI gave a first try," she hoots, "but I chose what to keep, cut, or change!"

Questions parents ask
+What does 'keep, cut, or change' mean with AI?
When an AI gives you a drawing, a story, or an answer, it is only a first try — a draft. You are the boss of it. You KEEP the parts you love, CUT the parts that don't fit or aren't true, and CHANGE parts to make them better or more like you. That is how you turn an AI's draft into your own good work.
+Do I have to use everything the AI gives me?
No. The AI's answer is a starting point, not the finished thing. You can keep some of it, remove parts you don't want, and reword or fix the rest. Choosing is your job.
+When should I cut a part the AI made?
Cut a part when it is not true, when it does not fit your idea, or when it just repeats something you already said. Cutting the parts that don't belong makes the work clearer and better.
