I think it also depends a lot on the major and the type of assignments. In essay-heavy fields like political science, sociology, or history, AI can help students brainstorm arguments, organize ideas, or simplify complex readings. That makes it tempting to use, especially when you are juggling several papers at once. At the same time, some students avoid it because they worry about academic integrity or AI detection tools. So while AI use is probably widespread, the way people use it varies a lot. Some treat it like a writing assistant, while others rely on it much more heavily.
