Is A Tool

2023-10-30 21:57:58 UTC

I believe that AI is just the newest, shiniest tool that has people in a frenzy because it is too early in it's life for us to fully understand the pros, cons, and the somewhat grey middle ground of it all.

AI Isn't Cheating, but Cheaters Use It

2023-10-30 22:00:52 UTC

I think that AI in it of itself isn't cheating if not used for the express purpose of cheating. Much like how going to Tutoring isn't considered cheating, it's a form of getting help. However, if a tutor was just giving a student all the answers to something and encouraging dishonest behavior, then that is cheating. AI most definitely CAN be used to cheat, but the concept and all applications of it isn't inherently cheating. It just makes things more efficient and admittedly easier.

I believe that AI is radioactive. It's incredibly powerful and people are playing with it willy nilly. It has the potential to do a lot of powerful things, but it is dangerous and empowers a lot of people who may have bad intentions and at the very least, can't predict the consequences of their actions. While AI is in it's nascent phase, I do think that it already has the portential to do big things. What is readily available to the public for free is more powerful than people really know, especially for compsci and technical things. If the more powerful, private versions and protypes are more powerful and less restrained, I fear what bad actors may do and what terrifying technology could get into the hands of the public

Great Benefit In A.I.

2023-10-30 22:04:37 UTC

A.I. comes in many shapes, sizes, forms, applications. Some A.I. are chatbots that can answer even your craziest technical issues, other A.I. are grammar and spelling tools that makes your writing convey a clearer and easier to understand message. It is still very limited in its scope right now, but the implications for all the positive effects A.I. can have is worth learning about and understanding A.I.

I believe that AI has capabilities to perform tasks in a speed and level of efficiency that humans can never achieve. However, it takes a great human pilot to use those tools.

As a designer, AI helps my productivity by generating something new and unique to use at the click of a button.

My brother is obsessed. I'm kinda like whatever right now. I don't think it's cheating if it's used as a brainstormer help, but a copy/paste job from what it generates back at you I'm not a fan of (for cheating purposes)

Bad Actors Exist Everywhere...

2023-10-30 22:08:21 UTC

We can trust A.I., however, much with various tools like the internet, cellphones, cars, guns, etc., it all boils down to "Do we trust the average person with the potential power that A.I. holds?" Again, many people have access to A.I. and we have seen a wide range of results from how certain people have used A.I., even in the last year or so.

It depends?

2023-10-30 22:08:27 UTC

Depends on elements such as:

-The professor's policies

-What aspect of the assignment did the student use AI to solve?

Nuance in its usage

2023-10-30 22:08:39 UTC

I think that AI has potential to help society in facilitating systems that are otherwise hard to manage manually. However, when it infringes on creativity and is abused in a diluted manner, that’s when its ethical integrity is questioned.

Not entirely yet

In design, copyright infringement and the extent AI can be used as original content is still grey.

Not necessarily

2023-10-30 22:12:04 UTC

Although many use AI to acquire easy knowledge on the internet, this information is still readily available to students regardless of its “AI approach” and can easily be found if you put in the effort. Plus the theoretical foundations taught in school aren’t really original, these ideas are being taken from somewhere - whether that’s books or reports. AI just makes it easier to acquire in a shorter time.

Yes

2023-10-30 22:12:53 UTC

AI technology has been used a lot in assistive technology which helps students with disabilities maneuver their assignments easily.

Not really

2023-10-30 22:14:28 UTC

AI compacts a wide range of information into a diluted output that takes away the fundamental information of a topic. Sometimes it doesn’t have the answers so it provides false information.

Depends On the Subject

2023-10-30 22:20:53 UTC

Personally, I find things like ChatGPT can be useful in formatting and structure. I recently used ChatGPT to help me create a table for a three-month project development schedule. I did this by listing the dates of weekends and holidays that I wanted it to exclude within a certain time frame and then had it draw a table up. The alternative was for me to open a calendar app and count the days by hand. It did well enough, but it still had errors. But for things like brainstorming or other creative uses, I find it to be a hassle. I have to go out of my way to use it and it feels a little pointless.

Against Certain Generative AI

2023-10-30 22:25:03 UTC

I'm very much against generative AI like Midjourney, ones used to create art. It does so by stealing and combining the work of millions of artworks. I think it's ethically wrong to use it based on that fact alone, especially when anyone can make art if they simply put time into learning.
