A detail from Sarah Jeong's work that grabbed my attention was how creators who had experience in creating bots said that Microsoft should have known the risks before releasing the Tay Bot. The article explains how some botmakers use word filters and testing it multiple times to make sure it does not use any offensive wording. This brings the idea of how developers should always try to predict and prevent future problems that may come up during the design process and not when they actually happen.

This is interesting to me because it shows how bots are not automatically "bad" or "good" as their actions are dependent on how they are operated. With the example of the Gender Pay Gap Bot, it holds companies accountable by using actual databases instead of spreading misinformation. This makes me think of how we decide when to put criticism on bots.

The relationship between social media and "real life" is very much a thin line. It's able to cause changes in our lives, even though it seems to be just a post or message on a screen. The interactions you have on social media will still be carried with you as a person off the screen. Which is why it is important to be careful of what you share online, especially with how social media is a great way to exaggerate things due to how visibly public postings are to everyone around the world. To me, social media is a part of real life, as it is a space where everything is rapidly being shared and more people are being performative but there are situations where some things online deserve a real-world response.

Something I realized is how I already use ethical frameworks as tools, especially online. Like when I am deciding whether or not to repost something that might embarrass myself or someone else or to call out another user and think if it will actually help the situation. What really spoke to me was how these ethical tools work differently from medical tools as there is no exact way to understand and deal with a problem. Using multiple different frameworks help understand each part of the situation and understand what impact certain actions could create. It brings the idea of how often and quick we make decisions online without considering the impact and what ideas it could convey to others.

Another ethical framework that I believe is important to know is stoicism. It differs as it focuses on the discipline of inner emotions while most of these ethical frameworks stay on the ideas of relationships, rituals, consequences and duties. Compared to Confucianism, stoicism believes that virtue comes from one's own judgement, not from performing ceremonies and social harmony. Not only that but with Consequentialism as they believe the moral value of an action depends on how good the outcome is rather than Stoics believing the action depends on your character, yourself as a person. It doesn't really rely on the regular norms but teaches others to stay calm and think before you act on something even if you don't know what the outcome is going to be. It definitely adds another perspective onto ethics as it doesn't rely on expectations but managing your own self and emotions.
