In today's fast-paced digital age, facing pressing academic pressure, more and more students choose to use artificial intelligence tools, such as ChatGPT, to quickly write academic papers. The appeal of this trend is obvious – rather than spending hours writing a paper, why not let AI generate one for you in minutes?

Recently, MyEssayWriter.ai conducted a groundbreaking study that tracked 30 AI-related search terms, including “AI Paper Writing Tools” and “How to Write Papers with AI” by analyzing Google search trends over the past year, to determine which states students use AI to assist writing most frequently.
The results show that Texas performed outstandingly in this AI revolution and became the second largest state in the United States to use ChatGPT for paper writing. Data shows that Texas students search AI papers on average every 100,000 people per month have helped 21.10 times. With 226 higher education institutions in Texas, popular majors include business, medical and engineering, it is clear that Texas students seek various advantages in struggling to cope with the heavy academic burden.
Mississippi was a little ahead in the process, ranking first with 21.46 searches per 100,000 people. Other states that rely heavily on AI paper writing include Georgia (20.79), Louisiana (19.90), West Virginia (19.77), and Florida (18.79). The top ten states are Nevada (17.71), Hawaii (17.65), South Carolina (17.20) and New York (16.96).
This data clearly shows that AI-driven academic assistance is not only a trend, but is becoming a full-scale movement.
However, the convenience of using AI tools has sparked discussions about ethics. Frederick Poche, chief marketing officer of MyEssayWriter.ai, acknowledged the convenience of the tool, but also warned that excessive reliance could lead to degradation of academic skills and cause serious plagiarism problems. He stressed that AI should be regarded as an auxiliary tool for writing, not a substitute.
"The information and tasks students face today are overwhelming. It is understandable to turn to AI, but we must use it carefully to avoid damage to critical thinking and research capabilities," said Bosch.
In the debate on the use of AI in education, the only thing that is certain is that students embrace AI more than ever. The key is whether they will see it as a springboard to improve their writing skills or simply a shortcut to lowering academic growth.
