This guide collects and links a variety of free generative AI tools available online. San Juan College does not currently subscribe to any paid versions of these tools, so your experience may vary depending on the specific platform or version you use.
Generative AI refers to tools that create new content based on patterns learned from vast amounts of data. This can include writing text, generating images, composing music, or even creating computer code. These tools are designed to assist users—not to replace human creativity or judgment.
Because these tools are designed and trained by human beings, they often reflect human assumptions, biases, and gaps in knowledge.
Generative AI tools are great at repetitive or structured tasks—summarizing content, formatting citations, suggesting edits—but they tend to struggle with open-ended thinking, creative insight, and deep analysis. You can think of them as helpful writing assistants, not replacement thinkers.
Sometimes AI tools generate information that looks convincing—but is completely wrong. This phenomenon is called a “hallucination.” These errors can include:
That’s why all AI-generated content should be carefully reviewed and fact-checked. It’s a helper, not a shortcut.

Artificial Intelligence
by
Over the past decade alone, artificial intelligence (AI) has become exponentially more sophisticated. Many applications of AI in our daily lives go practically unnoticed, from navigation applications to online shopping algorithms. However, new developments in the field have raised concerns about the role AI should have in society. AI-fueled chatbots and art generators have caused some to question whether artificial intelligence is capable of consciousness and, if so, what that would mean for humanity. Some also consider the intensive data collection that is required for AI to operate a potentially serious violation of privacy, while others argue that AI is an important tool in helping solve numerous societal issues. This volume examines the current debate over artificial intelligence from a wide range of perspectives.
