Unit 2 Draft

 

Unit 2 Draft

My objective for my Unit 2 research is to investigate how artificial intelligence is influencing human thought, creativity, and decision-making, particularly in real-world contexts like education and daily life. People now utilize AI without even realizing it, and I want to know if it's just a useful tool or if it's starting to alter the way we think and produce.

I examined three research questions regarding AI's role and got a variety of answers. More generic responses were given to the first question, which asked whether AI is altering people's thought processes or just how they obtain information. The majority of people described AI as a quicker version of Google and concentrated on it as a tool for productivity and ease. Responses were constant, but they lacked depth.

The second point concerned the use of AI in higher education and if it ought to be subject to the same rules as plagiarism. People were forced to take a stance, which led to more deliberate responses. Although many participants said AI should be permitted as a teaching tool, they also agreed that there should be restrictions to avoid abuse. This inquiry prompted additional justification and introspection.

The third question, which focused on AI and creativity, generated the strongest reactions. By introducing the idea that AI could replace or impact human creativity, people responded with stronger opinions. Some believed AI weakens creativity, while others saw it as a tool that can enhance it. This question led to more detailed and reflective responses.

In general, I discovered that although larger questions led to shorter, more superficial responses, more focused and sometimes contentious topics produced deeper engagement. This gave me insight into how to better direct my future studies.

The first article:

The Wall Street Journal - Breaking News, Business, Financial & Economic News, World News and Video

This article explains how AI tools are changing the way people plan and book travel. It connects to my topic by showing how AI is already influencing decision-making and reshaping the travel industry.

Second article:

This article discusses the broader impact of AI on work and society, which relates to my project by raising questions about how AI affects human roles, responsibility, and independence.

Unit 1 Draft - Mia Norris

Source 1 Analysis: A Pencil Shop, for Texting the Old-Fashioned Way - The New York Times When I read "A Pencil Shop, for Texting the Old-Fashioned Way," I was taken aback by how applicable a pencil-only store may seem in a world where cellphones and digital communication rule the day. Molly Young examines why analog instruments continue to have cultural and emotional significance through a profile of C.W. Pencil Enterprise. The essay emphasizes the emotion, purpose, and nostalgia that surround tangible items that many people view as outdated rather than criticizing technology. The piece has a lighthearted, observational tone with some irony. Young establishes the contrast between contemporary digital life and analog simplicity right away by asking who would even need a pencil anymore. Her method is descriptive rather than persuasive, using statements from the shop owner, images, and anecdotes to let readers come to their own judgments. Readers who are at ease with technology ...

What I Listen To In A Day - Mia Norris

  Every morning, I start my day at 8:20 AM. My alarm sound is usually one of three songs, but most often it’s Gypsy by Fleetwood Mac. I’ve learned that waking up to a song that makes me happy and puts me in a good mood helps me start the day on the right foot, even on mornings when getting out of bed feels extra difficult. After my two classes, my roommate and I decided to get our nails done, which was very much needed. The nail salon was amazing and really tried to make the experience as relaxing as possible. While I was there, I started listening to a podcast that put a lot of things into perspective for me. It focused on learning how to take control of your own life and truly make it yours, while also romanticizing both the big moments and the small, everyday things that help you feel better and more grounded. Once I got home, I headed straight to the gym. I’ve been loving my Wednesdays this semester because I only have one class, which gives me more time to do things for mysel...

 Unit 3 Portfolio  You're Not Using AI. AI Is Using You. This week, you most likely opened ChatGPT at least once. Perhaps to help you begin an essay, decide what to make for supper, or simply to provide an answer to a query you could have looked up on Google. Yes, it felt effective. Even normal. That's precisely the issue. The majority of people think they are just using AI as a handy tool, but the data points to something much more disturbing: we are progressively delegating our creativity, thinking, and decision-making to systems we don't fully understand, and if we don't set clear boundaries, we run the risk of losing the very cognitive abilities that define humanity. This is not a warning about science fiction. The majority of us are unaware that it is already occurring.  The Slow Handover (Fusion Chat, 2023)  When was the last time you sat with a challenging issue and didn't grab for your phone right away? We used no AI to write a first draft. or make a choice,...
