AI paranoia syndrome?

I'm a woman in my early 40's taking online college and I feel like the only person not using AI almost exclusively for any kind of written assignment. I admire the audacity of some of them (especially the ones that don't even make a minimal effort to hide it) and would even jump on that train myself for the tedious assignments, except I'm too paranoid about being the one person who gets caught. I spend so much time trying to "humanize" whatever it gives me that I could have written it from scratch twice over.
