Why: Algorithmic Ai is part of what makes most websites run. It is essential to every part of the internet, and without it, the internet wouldn't be what it is. However, generative AI is incredibly harmful to not only the environment, but also to many creative assets as well as critical thinking skills in people who use generative AI.

In your POV as students, what are some ways that you think AI is helpful or is a hindrance to students?

Why: By lowering the standard the of quality, it reduces students critical skills and ingenuity. Alex

Cloud:
AI is useful to ask for clarification and start from zero. It also lets students be more comfortable when asking questions about the topic
Rebuttal by Ryan:
Students can be become complacent and not pay attention to lessons
Response by cloud:
Students have to find a middle ground to balance both outputs

Thew:
AI is useful for generating and can be elaborated by the students themself. It’s also more convenient as there is no time constraints(Eg. Being able to ask questions without being in school)

Aarya:
Students can be overeliant on AI and be fed misinformation for their questions
Rebuttal by titan:
Students should research other sources to confirm the Information

Most students right now are using AI like a magic homework machine. They paste in their essay prompt, copy the response, change a few words, and hit the submit button. This is like using a GPS to drive everywhere, then wondering why you can't navigate your own neighborhood without it. In other words, students are highly dependent on the use of AI.

Students using AI are split into two types. The dependant ones and the innovators. The dependant ones ask AI: "Write my essay about Romeo and Juliet." They get an answer but then learn nothing in the end. They're training themselves to be helpless without thinking at all. The real innovators ask: "Help me understand why Romeo makes such impulsive decisions. And what are some examples?" They use the AI response as a starting point for their own thinking.

In conclusion AI is neither good or bad, it serves as merely a tool for humanity to progress, with advantages and disadvantages. It entirely depends on how people use it.

To use AI to the best of its ability, we should always say thank you after asking for help, so that during the AI apocalypse, they wont attack us. In addition,

Harmful - Lucas L, Kae man, Xavier , Kieran

We think that AI can be both harmful and helpful. On one hand, AI can benefit us as it can help us learn, summarise long, drawn out content, and sift through the sheer amount of information on the internet. This can let us be more efficient in self-learning. Moreover, AI can help to develop our social skills, such as through websites like character AI. (Lucas L)

On the other hand, we also think AI can be harmful as we may become over reliant on it to help us with work. It is not uncommon for us to use AI when doing tasks we find tedious such as homework. However, this may lead to an over reliance on it, we end up not learning. We may grow lazy and may develop fewer skills in turn.

• It’s okay to get help understanding concepts, but don’t copy AI answers word-for-word in tests, exams, or homework that you're supposed to do yourself.

• Use AI to learn, not to skip learning.

2. Be careful with personal info

• Don’t share your real full name, address, passwords, or other private info with AI tools.

• Even though some platforms try to keep your data safe, it's always better to stay private.

I will never use AI to just do stuff and will think before using it

It will be my final resort
