Stand:

I agree that AI should be used for schoolwork.

Counter-argument:

However, some may argue that AI should not be used for schoolwork because it can generate ideas on its own and does not require the student to think critically about how to answer the question. It essentially provides students with free answers. This does not contribute to students' learning and may lead them to over-rely on AI to help complete their schoolwork. In the long term, it affects their academic results as they are not learning anything. However, I believe that if AI is being used responsibly, it would not only improve students' learning, but it could also help students to explore greater perspectives that they have not discovered before. Since AI has access to information across the web, the answers that are given are not restricted to just things that students have experienced before, such as school life. It can expand to a more global perspective, therefore increasing the depth and quality of the answers that students give. This, of course, should be accompanied by the responsible use of AI. For example, generating ideas and using them as references and not directly copying.

stand: AI should not be used for school work.

counterargument: some may argue that AI should be used for school work, because students can tend to learn more easily, and clarify things via AI, as it has the ability to explain very precisely, instead of just giving the answers. However, I believe that this could only be valid if one is keen enough to learn from it, instead of just copying the answers blindly. Copying from AI can result in students becoming more lazy, reducing their interest to learn, which may result in them scoring very less for their assessments, due to the lack of knowledge on how to actually solve the problems.

AI should not be used for school work.

Some may argue that AI should be used for school work as AI can help you break down concepts that are not easy to grasp and help you further understand the topics taught in class. For example, if a student has trouble with a math concept and finds it hard to understand it in class, the student can go home and input the problem into ChatGPT and ask it to explain it to the student. However, this argument fails to consider the over-reliance of AI in the long term that can be detrimental to one's learning. As AI is becoming more advanced overtime, many students are sending their entire homework page into AI and blindly copying it. This leads to students not using critical thinking skills and would result in not being able to score in the exam as it is purely written by yourself. Hence, AI should not be used for school work.

Rewrite it into a counterargument by changing the point and adding a rebuttal.

Note which of the 4 rebuttal methods you used.

Post it under this section.

Remember counterargument format (Opposing stand- "Some may argue that..." + Example + Explanation + Rebuttal)

Argument 1, AGREE (Yu Zhe)

I agree that people who engage in volunteer work are good people because they help people without expecting anything in return. For example, many volunteers at food banks or elderly homes spend hours serving the needy even though they are not paid or rewarded, This shows that they are driven by kindness and a desire to improve the lives of others rather than their personal gains. Their actions come from a sense of compassion and selflessness, which proves that they [possess characters of a good person]. Therefore, volunteering without expecting anything in return reflects the character of a good person.

Argument 2, DISAGREE (Dhushita)

I disagree that people who engage in volunteer work are good people when they volunteer to profit from them. For example, influencers on social media may only volunteer to film content and gain clout from their viewers. This shows that some people only volunteer for fame, not for helping people. Moreover, some people only volunteer to gain recognition from the community, like ECHA awards, a school award to recognise people who does good deeds in school. Due to this, most people only volunteer to gain attention and receive awards. Hence, people who volunteer for their own benefit are not good people.

# data[].attributes.body
Counter argument to Yuzhe's point

Impact technique

Some people argue that doing volunteer work does not always show good character, as some only do it to look good. For example, students may volunteer just to earn VIA hours or make their resumeh look better, which means their actions are driven by self-interest, not compassion. However, while this may be true in some cases, the impact of those who volunteer out of kindness is far greater. When people give their time and effort without expecting rewards, it builds a more caring and united society. Their genuineactions can inspire others and create real change in the lives of those in need. In compaarison, even if selfish volunteers help, their impact is often limited and short-term. Hence, although some may volunteer for the wrong reasons, the positive and lasting impact of selfless volunteers shows that volunteering usually reflects good character.

# data[].attributes.body
Although some argue that people that do volunteer work are not necessary good people as some of them are mandated by their schools to do VIA volunteer projects to gain CCA points, on the other hand, majority of them do it out of the goodness out of their hearts and not for selfish reasons. Thus, most people that do volunteer work are good people.

# data[].attributes.body
Although, some critics may argue that some people like influencers may only record themselves donating money and volunteering to gain clicks and views on their own videos. However, I stand to disagree. While there may be some influencers who are volunteering solely for popularity, there are still many volunteers who genuinely want to help communities and people. For instance, popular influencer Ironmouse holds donation streams to raise funds to donate to the Immunodeficiency Foundation so that they can better treat patients with the same ailment as her. Hence, while there may be influencers who volunteer solely for fame, there will still be people who volunteer solely to make the world a better place.

Others may argue that people who engage in volunteer work does not necessarily make them good people as they may only be doing it to profit from them. For example, some influencers on social media may only volunteer to film content to gain clout form their viewers. This shows that some people only volunteer for fame, not for helping people. Moreover, some people only volunteer to gain recognition from the community, like ECHA awards, a school award to recognize people who does good needs in school. Due to this, most people only volunteer to gain attention and receive awards. However, this may not apply to good people. This is because there are plenty of people who are genuine about helping others and have a heart to serve others.

# data[].attributes.body
Method 2: Circumstances, a bit of Stakeholders

Some may argue that people who engage in volunteer work are good people because they help others without expecting anything in return. For example, volunteers at elderly homes or food banks give their time and energy to help the needy without any payment, which seems selfless. However, this argument may not be valid in all circumstances. In some countries or schools, volunteering is mandatory in order to graduate or fulfil service hours. Like Singapore has Values-In-Action, whereby Secondary school students will choose an activity to carry out that benefits the nearby community. Students will get bonus points for completing a certain number of hours successfully. In such circumstances, people are not volunteering out of kindness, but because they are required to. Therefore, when people volunteer because they have to, not because they want to, this argument may not apply. In these situations, their actions do not necessarily reflect a good character, but rather a response to obligation.

Although some may argue that people who do volunteer work are not good people as they do it for personal reputation and media representation people who actually engage in volunteer work are good people because they help people without expecting anything in return. For example, many volunteers at food banks or elderly homes spend hours serving the needy even though they are not paid or rewarded. This shows that they are driven by kindness and the desire to improve the life of others rather than their personal gains. They’re actions come from a sense of compassion and selflessness which proves that they possess characteristics of a good person. Therefore, volunteering without expecting anything in return reflects the character of a good person.

# data[].attributes.body
Others may argue that these volunteers are just to gain clout. In their perspective, by taking part in volunteer work, these social media advocates, disguised as volunteers, gain extra clout by being seen as these helpful individuals helping the less needy of the society. However, I beg to differ. In my eyes, these advocates are just mere volunteer workers, trying to do what is best for society. Them posting on social media, just might be them trying to shed some light on these needy groups of people that need support, instead of just chasing for clout. Thus, they are not chasing for clout these social media workers

# data[].attributes.body
Although some may argue that people who volunteers are not good people as they may expect something out it, that benefits them, this could only be valid if not driven by kindess and a desire to improve the lives of others rather their personal gains. In reality, alot of people are volunteering for fame, VIA hours, and to gain recognition. Hence, if people are not genuine in helping people, they don't have the purpose and fulfilment, the people that volunteers are not good.

# data[].attributes.body
However some may argue that influencers on social media only post content to gain clout as they increase their followers, this assumption overlooks the fact that not all influencers are driven solely by fame. For instance some influencers post on social media to raise awareness on the issue. This can encourage others to volunteer for the good of the society as well. Hence, there are also influences who do it out of goodness in their heart. ( assumptions, flaws in argument)

However, some people may argue that AI should not be used for school work because some students misuses AI for learning and instead they use it to generate answers for their school work, which would not help benefit the student's learning in any way. However, I believe that AI can provide personalised learning for students who are self-motivated to learn and AI can help generate practice questions based on the student's weak topics. This can help students to learn better. Thus, if students are not self-motivated that may not benefit using AI.

# data[].attributes.body
Stand: I agree

Counter argument: Others argue that people who engage in volunteer work are not good people if they volunteer to profit from them. For example, influencers on social media may only volunteer to film content and gain clout from their viewers. This shows that people only volunteer for fame and not for helping people. However, this may not apply to all influencers as some influencers volunteer out of the kindness of their heart. Influencers may volunteer because they genuinely want to help people and also feel that they can make a difference in society. For example, social media personality, Pamela Lee started volunteering with Youth Corps Singapore to teach English to unprivileged students in Cambodia. Hence, not all influencers volunteer to gain attention.

# data[].attributes.body
AI should be used for school work. Although some may argue that using AI in work will lead to students becoming too dependent on it, it can help weaker students do research in different topics, and explain concepts that the students don't understand, allowing them to be able to continue learning outside school without a teacher. Therefore, students should be able to use AI in their work to allow them to gain a further understanding of the concepts.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, AI should be used for school work. Although some may argue that schools should not use AI to do school work because it might make students more reliant on AI to do their work instead of using their brains. However, I believe that with the help of AI being used for school work, it can help to generate more interesting ideas that can be used or if they have any doubts or questions, AI can help answer them easily with examples. Hence, students should use AI with proper guidance and discipline.

(Agree)

Rebuttal method: Circumstances

Yes, AI should be used for school work. Although some may argue that AI should not be used as it could reduce students' thinking and limit their full potential, I believe that, with the help of AI being used for school work and if used properly, it can guide us to think harder and improve our understanding. For example, AI can give feedback, explain difficult concepts in simpler ways, and offer different perspectives that students might not think of on their own. While it is true that over-relying on AI might cause students to become lazy or copy answers blindly, this only happens when AI is misused. Under the right circumstances such as when teachers guide students on how to use AI responsibly it can become a powerful learning tool. Therefore, when used with proper guidance and discipline, I believe that AI can support our learning rather than weakens it.

# data[].attributes.body
AI should be used for school work. Although, some may argue that AI should not be used for school work because it could result to students becoming overreliant on it such that they would not be able to think for themselves the answer. This would cause them to suffer in examinations as they do not have excess to the AI. However i believe that AI can help students, if used correctly, to generate ideas and even teach students different ways to solve the problems on their school work. This could be useful to the students as it can teach them many things which might not be taught in class, which they could apply to their examinations.

# data[].attributes.body
stance: AI should not be used for school work. counterargument: some may argue that AI SHOULD be used for school work because it can be used as a tool for students to check their work and clear any doubts in their minds. However, I believe that AI puts students at a disadvantage while doing their work as students may abuse it and use it as a way of doing their work.(rebuttal) Rebuttal method: Impact

For example a student may use AI such as Chatgpt,Gemini and perplexity in order to complete his or her work. This halts the student's learning as homework is a way getting extra of a certain subject at the comfort of our homes. Through this the students is not able to thoroughly understand the topic and in dependent on AI to do his or her work

# data[].attributes.body
Although some may argue that AI can be used to autogenerate answers and be used to "cheat" and inhibit learning, AI, in most cases, actually enhance learning. AI currently is not yet advanced enough to generate perfect essays or answers, and can easily be detected, So while it could be used to "cheat" schoolwork, the student will still have to edit the response and likely learning and understand the answer, thus learning the material regardless. Currently AI is already used in a lot of learning tools. SLS uses an autoresponse AI, which allows students to immediately recieve feedback about their answer and learn how they could improve, and many AI programmes are designed to better compilate lectures or analyze questions which allows students to create notes and have a personal "teacher" which allows students to learn more efficiently rather than waiting on a lecturer who may not always be available or willing to assist you. Thus, AI benefits learning much more than it inhibits it

# data[].attributes.body
Should AI be used for school work?

Some may argue that AI should not be used for schoolwork, as it provides direct answers instead of allowing students to think and learn on their own. However, this argument can be rebutted by considering students' self-discipline. If students use AI technology wisely, they can learn more effectively and manage their time better, allowing them to focus on their interests. For example, students can use tools like ChatGPT to generate ideas and access a wide range of resources. If they take the initiative to learn, they can understand the key concepts and engage in active learning. Therefore, AI should be used for schoolwork.

# data[].attributes.body
Ai should not be used for school work. While some may argue that AI provides unlimited resources and help, this is under the assumption that students always understand and utilise it to aid with their homework. For example, some students use AI to do their homework for them instead of seeking guidance. Due to this, students may not understand the steps and do not develop the problem-solving skills that they need. Hence, AI cannot help all students with their schoolwork

# data[].attributes.body
Some may argue that the use of AI in schools may cause students to become overly reliant on technology. They believe that students might stop thinking for themselves and depend too much on AI for answers. However, I disagree with this view. If used correctly, AI is not meant to replace thinking but to support learning. In fact, the implementation of AI in schools can bring great benefits to students. For example, AI can adjust lessons based on each student’s learning speed, which is helpful since not all students study at the same pace. It also allows students to access a wide range of information anytime, anywhere. Furthermore, AI can give instant feedback on students’ work, helping them understand their mistakes quickly. This also saves teachers time, so they can focus on teaching new content instead of marking every piece of work. Therefore, although some may worry about overreliance, the benefits of using AI in schools clearly outweigh the concerns.

# data[].attributes.body
Method 2: Circumstances

Critics may argue that using AI for school work encourages laziness and prevents students from learning critical thinking and problem-solving skills on their own. They fear that students may become too dependent on technology and lose the ability to complete tasks without it. However, this is not true in all circumstances as AI can actually enhance learning when used responsibly. Just like calculators in math or spell checkers in writing, AI tools can support student understanding rather than replace it. When integrated properly, AI can offer personalised feedback, generate practice questions as requested by students, and provide tutoring that many may not otherwise afford or access. Instead of replacing effort, AI can guide and enrich it.

# data[].attributes.body
AI should not be used for schoolwork.

Although some may argue that AI should be used to help students overcome their learning gaps and understand topics more efficiently, this could only be valid if students have integrity and responsibility while using AI. This assumes that all students use AI responsibly to aid their learning . Many students will end up using AI to complete all their homework and copy answers from it instead of getting rid of their learning gaps . For example, some students use chat gpt to complete their graded assignments which disallows them from learning and makes them dependent on AI .

circumstance

# data[].attributes.body
AI should be used for school work.

while some may argue that using AI for school work promotes laziness and prevents students from using critical thinking skills. however, AI can actually enhance learning by providing personalized help, offering explanations in ways for students to ensure understanding , and allowing students to explore concepts more deeply, which improve critical thinking rather than replacing it

# data[].attributes.body
Nevertheless, some people may argue that AI should not be used for school work as they think that people will be overly reliant on it to do their work. For example, many students use ChatGPT to help them with their homework or even copy directly for it. They use it freely without learning from it. Thus, it is better to avoid using AI in school. However, I strongly believe that AI should be used for school work. AI provides us with a vast amount of information that is useful for our learning. There will always be teachers to guide the students and make sure that they are on task. For example, teachers use AI in class to help students brainstorm ideas for their group work. Hence, AI is effective for students' learning ,and it should be used in schools.

# data[].attributes.body
Although some may argue that AI should not be used for schoolwork because students tend to learn better in a old school setting, where they take notes by hand and ask their teachers questions directly. However I believe, AI can actually enhance learning by helping students generate ideas and gain new perspectives. The key is to use AI as a learning tool, not a shortcut. Hence, if students rely too heavily on AI to give them direct answers, they may not benefit as much. But under the right circumstances, where AI is used to support rather than replace thinking, it can greatly improve the learning experience

# data[].attributes.body
AI should be used for school work. Some may argue that AI might distract students from doing work as there are plenty of platforms for entertainment, such as YouTube and Tik Tok, this will result in students to procrastinate their work and not complete assignments on time. Although some may argue AI should be used school work as it can help students to focus by breaking down tasks, creating a study plan and even blocking distracting apps, this assumes that all students are self disciplined enough to not get distracted by the entertainment platforms. AI can help you generate ideas and notes, which is useful for your learning. Hence, using AI for school work is useful to make learning efficient

# data[].attributes.body
Some may argue that it may distract them from their own learning as it allows them to ask AI to do their own homework for them. Students may become dependent on AI to complete tasks instead of thinking by themselves. When a student copies AI-generated answers without understanding the topic, this weakens their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Without practicing, students won’t retain knowledge or perform well in exams. However, this argument does not consider the full perspective of copying AI-gerneated answers as when one copies, it serves as an act of revision and the person sub-consciouly retain some of the information. Hence, using AI for school work is still beneficial.

# data[].attributes.body
Although some critics may argue that using AI for schoolwork could help students better comprehend the process of obtaining the answer through reading the generated thought processes, this assumes that all students will have enough patience and self-control to read every single reason for solving the question without simply rushing to copy it down immediately. Most children are very impulsive and impatient, and those who are diligent and have the integrity to meticulously read every line of text are few and far between. In the end, the students will not learn anything from their homework as they are simply blindly copying the answers without understanding the reasoning behind the answers and will eventually lag behind their peers in learning. Hence, I believe that AI should not be used for homework as it could stunt the learning of students.

# data[].attributes.body
Counter argument: Some may argue that AI helps to make learning more effective as there are several online learning tools that can help students learn better. With online tools like Kahoot and Blooket, students can learn or review through interactive games that could help make learning more fun and may help students understand better. For example, a student that may not feel so motivated to study can use Kahoot to do a simple review and find out what he/she may not know about a certain topic.

Rebuttal: However, I believe that AI should not be used for schoolwork as students may become over reliant on it. With advanced AI tools just at our fingertips, it is very accessible to students, but may not be completely beneficial to their learning. For example, AI tools such as ChatGpt or Deepseek can be easily used by students who feel lazy or tired to do their homework on their own. By blindly copying the generated answer given by the AI bot, students will end up not learning anything and would not know how much they understand a certain topic. This may result in a lack of creativity and impact on academic results if AI is not used responsibly.

Though some people might argue that AI should not be used to do school work, because they might become too dependent on AI, I strongly believe that students could use AI could be used to do school work if they use it properly.
