Article about AI:
The three version of my PSA
Version 1: my own writing
Title: Is AI taking over architecture?
The field of architecture is currently experiencing a transformative evolution, thanks to the advancements in AI technology. By incorporating AI into their work, architects are able to not only accelerate the design process, but also improve its accuracy. However, this integration has also sparked concerns about the potential overshadowing of human creativity. Architects are now faced with the task of adapting to this new landscape, finding a balance between leveraging technological advancements and upholding timeless design principles. It is essential for architects to retain their human intuition while harnessing the potential of AI. This way, they can continue to create innovative and imaginative structures that marry both human creativity and the benefits of AI.
Version 2:
Prompt: rewrite this PSA in showing all the negative sides of AI towards architecture.

The field of architecture is facing a troubling transformation due to the rise of artificial intelligence (AI). While AI promises to speed up the design process, it often sacrifices the depth and creativity that human architects bring to their work. Tasks that were once thoughtfully crafted are now streamlined, leading to a loss of personalized space utilization and genuine energy efficiency. AI-generated designs threaten to undermine traditional architectural principles, pushing out unique perspectives in favor of generic solutions. Many critics fear that this overreliance on technology will stifle human creativity, as computers lack the contextual awareness needed for true innovation. As AI’s influence grows, architects are forced to adapt, risking the erosion of the artistic intuition that has defined architecture for centuries. The danger lies in prioritizing technological efficiency over the timeless values of design, ultimately compromising the quality and uniqueness of architectural work. If architects fail to resist this trend, they may find themselves sidelined in a world where creativity and innovation are overshadowed by machines.

Version 3:
Prompt: who is AI affecting the most is it the new architects of the ones already been in the field of architecture the most.
The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in architecture poses significant challenges, compromising design depth, creativity and personalized space utilization. AI-generated designs favor generic solutions over unique perspectives, sparking fears of stifled human creativity due to lack of contextual awareness. Junior architects are most affected, as AI automates routine tasks, limiting skill development and hands-on experience. Mid-career architects must adapt to disrupted design processes, requiring significant reskilling. Conversely, senior architects, leveraging their established expertise, focus on high-level creative direction and strategic decision-making, utilizing AI as a tool. To thrive, architects must balance technological integration with human intuition and creativity.

Comparison Essay
Title:
Letâs design together: The alliance between AI and humans in architecture!
Key Question:
How can we balance AI use while maintaining the principles that have defined architecture?
PSA:
First thing is first we canât stop the development of technology as time passes technology is only growing bigger all we can do is adapt and make sure machines donât fully take over. Letâs work smarter not harder, we can work together to balance AI use while maintaining our traditional practices. How? You may ask, well for example AI can be used to generate some design options and other research but Itâs on us to refine, review and analyze the results to make sure that they meet the project’s goals, values, and aesthetics. Letâs see AI as a friend not an enemy, it cuts down working hours, and it helps us when we are stuck with our ideas. It’s a tool that whenever in doubt itâs there to make our ideas. AI and humans can become a great alliance.
Call-To-Action: Unity is key, letâs build bridges not borders, we can create a future where humans and AI can work together in perfect harmony.
Reflection Essay:
I will not lie, my PSA project was a time-consuming project, despite some difficulties overall, straightforward. I enjoyed learning a lot about how AI is not taking over, but instead being a helping hand. During this project I made sure I managed my time right. A few hours I would work on other classes and a few hours I would dedicate it to working on my English. This reflection essay will showcase my journey in more detail. For instance, I will talk about the parts I found easy and the parts I found hard. I will also talk about how AI in fact think it truly is a helping hand and that If we work together, we can maintain traditional principles of architecture while balancing the usage of AI.
I learned quite a lot during this AI project. First, I learned that when in doubt I turn to my phone google chrome is always my go to digital tool, I also use google docs whether itâs for my English classes or my major classes. I use my laptop the most. I find it easier and more manageable to use my laptop. Things tend to work better and I have a huge screen making it easier to read without having to struggle trying to read the little letters on my phone, donât get me wrong my phone is something I use a lot too. For software I caught myself using google docs and word, Open lab, Gmail, and outlook as well as ChatGPT. I also learned that AI is a helpful tool to turn when you get stuck and need some ideas, but itâs not a tool that can take over. When I asked AI certain things it would give responses that made me confused at times, I would ask it multiple times to explain it to me to better understand. AI explains things and answers things in a way I would not, thatâs why tradition of how we have done things not only in architecture but in general wonât be lost because humans produce things AI canât. Lastly if I didnât get this project assigned, I probably would not have learned this much about AI and how it
should not be a tool we should depend on. We are smart and we should own it. We should not be afraid to be kicked to the curb by all this advanced technology. The easiest thing I found about this project was that I knew what I wanted this PSA to be about. I was excited to talk about how AI is not so bad and that it can really help us architects. It can help us all; it is truly a helping hand. I did struggle with trying to understand ChatGPT, like I mentioned before multiple times I had to go back and ask ChatGPT to explain things to be because in the way it would produce information and the wording it would use got me confused I knew a machine was generating this you can tell by the information given and I wanted to make sure my writing demonstrated the difference between human writing and AI writing.
A little more time management from my part and perhaps a little more time on this project I believe I could have produced a better PSA project. I think if I set an outline and better gather my ideas and information It would have helped too.
My view towards AI in a way has changed but I canât fully commit to thinking itâs actually a good tool. I would love to learn more, but I do agree that it is a helping hand especially for me as a future architect. There are times where I struggle to gather my ideas and AI is there to help me. But we should not be dependent of AI we should only use it as a helping hand when we actually need it.
