I'm really stressed and freaking out right now. I made a huge mistake while working on my final physics paper. I used DeepSeek to help me write it, thinking it wouldn't be a big deal since it's just a physics paper. I created a template with AI, tweaked the wording a bit, and thought I was set. But now, I just received an email from my professor asking to meet up about my paper. He wants me to bring the computer I used. I'm scared this might be the end for me because using AI feels like a total violation, and I don't know what to do next. If anyone has gone through something similar, I'd love to hear how it turned out for you and any advice you might have. Wish me luck…

How do you think they figured it out? It’s pretty suspicious if an undergrad suddenly writes like an expert. They might've noticed that your paper was way beyond your level. You should've kept it simple instead of trying to refine it too much. Just be ready—they might quiz you on it to see if you really understood what you submitted. If you can't explain it or show your research, then it's game over.
Honestly, just check your school's policy on this. Plagiarism is serious business, and you might end up with a zero for the assignment. If it happens again, it could be worse. Just brace yourself for the consequences, whatever they may be.
I’m curious to know what happened after your meeting. Keep us in the loop!
All AI tools essentially just manipulate language, so you really can't rely on them completely. Always do your own work, especially on something important like a final paper!
Definitely watch out for that. They can tell if your work doesn't match your abilities. Just be prepared!
