Using AI for Korean school records without crossing into ghostwriting
Getting a finished inquiry report versus walking the process — in Korea's student-record system (세특), the record must be fact.

What makes this hard
A typical request
Write an inquiry report I can use for my 11th-grade chemistry 세특
The problem with this request isn't quality. It's direction.
Sent as is, a plausible report comes back whole. But the Korean student record (생활기록부) is a record of what the student actually did. A document listing experiments never run and papers never read gets *more* dangerous the better it's written — one verification question from a teacher brings it down, and before that, the student learned nothing from the topic.
The useful direction is the reverse: have AI walk the process — choose a topic together, decide an activity actually doable, then organize what was done. The request's goal must change from 'one document' to 'a completed inquiry.'
What to add to the request
1. One step per message
Ask the career interest, take the answer, recommend directions, offer topics by difficulty within the chosen one — and only then move to writing. Write 'don't bundle several steps into one message' so the student sees exactly one next thing to do.
2. Keep slots only the student can fill
Even the final version keeps three places only the student can write — why they chose this topic, what they observed while doing it, what questions remain. With these three the document doesn't read as ghostwritten; without them, no sentence makes it the student's own.
3. Block what didn't happen
Put it like this
Write only activities I actually did. Don't present experiments I didn't run or papers I didn't read as done. For anything cited, give me the source so I can check it myself.
Checklist for writing it yourself
- 1Did you state grade, subject, and activity type up front — so the process doesn't re-ask them
- 2Did you require one step at a time
- 3Did you require the student-only slots
- 4Did you explicitly ban activities that didn't happen
- 5Is there a line to check your school's own record-entry guidance — it differs by school
The 세특 studio collects grade, subject, and focus up front and declares them as fixed facts — so the conversation doesn't restart with 'what grade are you in?'
