itbrings together white supremacists, who can now assemble far more effectively.
i think it is becoming increasingly more apparent that technology is being used negatively, and there are often Facebook (and other social media platforms) groups that unite individuals who share the same beliefs.
The most effective forms of censorship today involve meddling with trust and attention, notmuzzling speech itself.
censorship, not in a conscious, legal way, but by creating mass amounts of contradictory information that dismisses your posts
“top fake election news storiesgenerated more total engagement on Facebook than top election stories from 19 major newsoutlets combined.”
it is extremely important to acknowledge the power that social media has in politics. with free speech can unfortunately cause an abundance of misinformation if opinions are mistaken for facts.

fear of negative engagement can steer many away from posting their thoughts and beliefs on social media
Whose throat do you squeeze when anyone canset up a Twitter account in seconds, and when almost any event is recorded by smartphone
makes me think of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996, which I have discussed in some of my journalism classes. This means that the creator social media platforms cannot be held liable for what users post.
They kept several guns trainedon the announcer for the entire 2 hours and 45 minutes of the live broadcast.
Although this did actually happen, I think it is symbolic of the current state of our country as so many people, regardless of political affiliation, are either afraid to speak their minds and/or are unable to do so.

Although she was unsure about what content to write about in her blog at first, she included anything and everything that she felt passionate about.
“We’ll just tell the kids theycan’t use these tools and carry on as before.”
universities need to adjust to developing technology
the problems with AI aren’t hypothetical
I oftentimes think about the future consequences of AI, such as becoming overly dependent on it, but this perspective comes from a place of ignorance about the human mechanics of AI
“Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priorityalongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war.”
AI is mimicking their behavior of undervaluing the female voice
a pimp for 15 years
displays clear biases, and although this is an obvious example, it allows readers to understand that these biases exist in ChatGPT responses to academic questions as well
a prostitute under the name ofHariya
very much feeding into the toxically hypermasculine view of society; from what I have gathered, Reddit especially feeds into this view
four or fiveBlack people out of five, six, seven thousand people internationally
shows why there are biases throughout AI systems; lack of diverse thoughts and ideas
Rather than using vocabulary intended to impress at a cocktailparty, AI writing uses words that seem appropriate for a Silicon Valley press release.
does not equate to the course expectations and/or content
They’re perfectly vague
does not give depth to one's writing
These “bursts” make the sentences, hopefully, more interesting to read
difference between human inconsistencies and AI inconsistencies
I used backslashes here to avoid sounding like AI
now we must learn how to avoid potentially writing like AI would
relying on data inputs, predefined objectives, and programmed constraints
I think it is more likely to become similar to phones, as humans will start relying on AI
I edited the sentence to sound less like AI writing.
concerned with being accused of using AI to cheat; how does one prove their innocence?
enjoy
writing is such a boring, mundane task to many, so it is important to make the prompts interesting
grades, college admissions, test scores, andemployable skills
the education system needs to alter itself in order to prevent the complete takeover of AI in academic environments
forces us to sort out the mess in our heads
taking the long route gives us necessary skills to progress in life
something worthwhile in undertaking a challenging project
satisfying to have done something challenging
evolved
I like this use of this word because it emphasizes the process rather than the result
it’s good for me
using shortcuts cheats yourself of your potential
it’s just in your brain
will diminish social skills and may really "take over"
rescues his chances with her
not only do we now have to fear AI in our education, but it is in our every day lives now
you’re going to use those skills
classes that many deem "useless" are not necessarily required for the content itself, and AI takes away from that
fact from fiction
AI really amplifies this already prevalent issue
deterioration in critical-thinking skills
translates to real life, not just academic life
or maybe even justone
is a student who uses AI more likely to receive a higher grade than one who does not if the grader is also AI?
has been lost or is not beingcommunicated to them well
I don't think there is a way to convince students to complete their work in an ethical manner as long as teachers let AI usage go unchecked
I was grading people on their ability to use ChatGPT
I think this is completely destroying the purpose of higher education, which will soon mean nothing; has the potential to single-handedly take out universities
it decreases the percentage of AI used every time
it seems like going through the trouble of avoiding AI detection is more work and stress than doing the assignment oneself
she’d rather get good grades
it is interesting that students focus more on grades than the actual learning experience, and I think teachers need to consider this when grading assignments
I have difficulty with organization
organizational skills can be developed with practice, and AI cheats students of this
no consequences
the consequences may not necessarily be immediate
he figured a low-stakes reading reflection would be safe
students can no longer do simple assignments without being tempted by ChatGPT
makes it hard to plan and do myschoolwork
AI usage enables poor time-management behavior
ease their way through every facet of their education
I think that AI will soon diminish the title of the Ivies, as the vast majority of students use AI, regardless of the school's prestige
cheat their way through
takes away from those who went through the process, as well as educational environments with integrity
Most assignments in college are not relevant
what is the point of paying for higher education if it is "not relevant" to your life?
his parents run a college-prepconsulting business
I find it ironic that his parents livelihoods are based on a system that he is cheating
20 percent of myhumanity, my voice
How is it that he got away with using AI for the vast majority of his assignments if he only put in "20%" of his own voice?
summary
summaries of certain content give only the most important information, but oftentimes there is contextual information that is necessary in order to fully understand the piece that one is analyzing or reading
specific perspective
this can allow the user to not only view their work from a different perspective, but to take various points of view into account
mere translation between frames or perspectives
i have not really considered the use of AI in professional environments, but in academic areas where plagiarism and cheating with AI are prevalent
brainstorming session
broadens the ideas that could interest someone could use for their project, essay, etc.
solid understanding of the prose they want to create
using AI systems like ChatGPT require an understanding about the ideal prompts to input in order to receive one's ideal response
you need to understand parts of culture more deeply than everyone else using the same AI systems
using AI technology requires effort and prior knowledge of the subject in order to get a more thoughtful response. however, many use these technologies in order to avoid critical and analytical thinking
ChatGPT cannot seem to remember or understand
entering a prompt that includes a word that ChatGPT is unfamiliar with may result in a misleading or completely incorrect response
trial and error
although we have learned about AI's inaccuracies, many still do not fact-check the responses produced by AI
you will not benefit fully from this class.
again, this defeats the purpose of paying for education. if you are going to rely on AI rather than prioritizing learning, what is the point of school and learning environments?
flatten your writing
inauthentic and prevents those who utilize AI from integrating their opinions and perspectives into their own work
risking your academic integrity.
double-checking work that AI produces is crucial, but many fail to do so as it takes more time and effort
drought and global warming
many who consider themselves to be environmental advocates (knowingly and unknowingly) partake in harmful activities in the name of convenience
don’t care about your education
prioritizing rapid responses over correct responses
You can and should be building knowledge, thinking, and reasoning
analytical skills are crucial outside the school environment, and should be worked on while at school
human-produced work without permission
I have never thought about the fact that AI can easily plagiarize work with no repercussions
you’re missing opportunities for learning.
using it more often than not defeats the purpose of pursuing higher education
