Overview

In the Module, we have been looking at the connection between reading and writing. For this assignment, we are going to apply that connection. We are testing the hypothesis that reading gives us something about which to write. The Journal is going to be a practice run for your first Reading Response, which is due next Sunday (Sep. 1st). Writing a brief practice response should give you the chance to figure out what you do and do not understand before submitting that assignment.

In this module, we also learned, or reviewed, that argument is everywhere and that we read to inform our ideas. Yes, we have opinions and thoughts of our own, but when we read others' ideas, our thoughts might modify slightly, or extensively, as we see a new perspective. Conversely, the information we read might simply reinforce what we already believed. In either case, we read these ideas and perspectives to enhance our writing and our credibility.

Linda Pophal, in the essay, "ChatGPT: Opportunities and Risks Related to AI-Generated ContentLinks to an external site." offers the readers an overview of current and potential future artificial intelligence, especially Chat GPT, applications. As the title denotes, Pophal shares some basic background information and applicationts. Based on that somewhat vague summary (I deliberately made it vague so that you would have to read it!), I have a question that I would like you to answer:

What do you think? Based on Pophal's and your own ideas, is A.I. going to improve our academic lives, or is it going to lead to disastrous consequences? Be specific in your answer and offer personal examples.
