NOTE: Please use your own words, and do not use AI to write (or ‘improve’) your answers. We have found that AI makes everyone sound like the same imaginary robotic person, which in turn makes it difficult for us to get a sense of who you really are. AI can be useful for spell-checking and proofreading, but please don’t ask it to write (or ‘think’) for you.
