Week-5 

Tittle: How much does AI Affect kids

Key Question:  What effects does AI have on kids’ everyday lives, education, social skills, and overall development? What are the benefits and disadvantages, and how might these affect their future as artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more prevalent in their communities?

Body Text: It should come as no surprise that AI is expanding quickly and affecting practically everything including education.AI is changing education in schools by automating teacher administrative tasks, enhancing access to educational resources, and focusing on lessons to each student’s needs. While AI-driven apps support people with disabilities, AI-powered tools such as smart tutoring systems and adaptive learning platforms allow students to learn at their own pace. AI helps teachers by tracking student progress and making grading, which frees up more time for education.   However, there are also worries about the safety risks of data collection, the potential of the risk in and the potential that students will become overly dependent on technology, which might hinder their ability to develop social and critical thinking skills.

Call to Action: What can we do to make sure AI has a positive impact on kids, and how much does it actually affect them as well?

Reflection:

Writing my own PSA has been a hard but helpful learning experience over the last few weeks. It took me some time to decide what I wanted to write about and how I wanted to create my thoughts.   But after I finally learned every detail, it all seemed to come well to me. Although I don’t think I’m very good at writing, I’m generally liked with the way my PSA came out. Finishing this paper taught me how to take advantage of chat gpt. 

Getting all of my references together was the easiest part of this PSA for me. I had no idea there were so many articles about my subject on the internet. However, I discovered that there are many. And after reading a few of them and finding that every article contained the same information, I was sure that all of the references were accurate. Finding the time to finish this project was the most difficult aspect of it. I usually only have one day of the week to work on homework from all of my classes because I work all day on the weekdays when I’m not in school. However, I managed to find some time to work on this project by making sure that day was devoted to homework and not to putting it aside.

I think I would have talked about this project with my friends to get their input on my PSA if I had had an extra week. I always believe that feedback is important, especially when I have a final draft while, days later, find something that I need to change that I didn’t get the first time. Feedback, in my opinion, helps in recognizing these changes faster.

For the most part, this project didn’t change my views on generative AI. I’ve always believed that younger generations don’t fully grasp the risks of sharing information online. I often tell my friends and family that as AI continues to grow, the potential dangers for everyone also increase. It’s concerning how many young people stop doing their own research and start believing everything they see online, especially after seeing videos where celebrities’ photos are used to create fake content. A lot of people in the comments still believe the videos are real.

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.

ChatGPT40 mini 

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:  

Let’s 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 can’t stop the development of technology as time passes  technology is only growing bigger all we can do is adapt and make sure machines don’t  fully take over. Let’s 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 It’s on us to refine,  review and analyze the results to make sure that they meet the project’s goals, values,  and aesthetics. Let’s 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 it’s there to  make our ideas. AI and humans can become a great alliance. 

Call-To-Action: Unity is key, let’s 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 it’s 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, don’t 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 it’s 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, that’s why tradition of how we have done things not only in architecture but in  general won’t be lost because humans produce things AI can’t. Lastly if I didn’t 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 can’t fully commit to thinking it’s  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.

Week 3

Version 1: My Writing

Title: AI in the Construction Industry

It’s no shock that AI is rapidly growing, and making its way into almost every industry. Many construction workers and students trying to get into that field are worried about their future in the industry. Although AI can’t physically build yet, it could however take over the managing aspect of a construction job. As of right now, AI is able to make schedules, help with budgeting, etc… This is what the construction industry calls the pre-construction process, which basically assures a smooth route during the actual construction process. Many people are worried they’ll lose their job, but they shouldn’t be worried because that’s when it becomes an issue. As long as you stay composed you should be fine, because just like humans, AI could make mistakes, and it will be up to you to fix it. The combination of humans and AI in the construction industry is very powerful.

Version 2: Chat GPT for a 6th grader

Title: AI in the Construction Industry

It’s no surprise that AI is growing fast and showing up in almost every job field, including construction. Many construction workers and students hoping to work in construction are worried about what this means for their future. While AI can’t actually build things yet, it can handle some of the planning work for a construction job. Right now, AI can help with making schedules, planning budgets, and other steps that come before the building starts. This part is called the pre-construction process, and it helps make sure everything goes smoothly once building begins. Some people worry they’ll lose their jobs, but they don’t need to. Staying calm and focused is important, because even AI can make mistakes—and humans will still be needed to fix them. Working together, humans and AI can be very powerful in the construction industry.

‌Version 3: Chat GPT for a person with a PHD

Title: AI in the Construction industry

The rapid advancement of AI is reshaping numerous industries, including construction. This shift raises concerns among construction professionals and aspiring entrants about their long-term roles. While AI lacks the capability for physical construction, it increasingly supports the managerial and logistical aspects of project workflows. Currently, AI assists with scheduling, budgeting, and other elements central to pre-construction planning—a phase essential for ensuring streamlined operations during the actual build. Though some may worry about job displacement, it’s worth noting that human expertise remains crucial. AI systems, like any technology, are fallible and depend on human oversight to address potential errors. The integration of AI with human decision-making holds considerable potential for enhancing efficiency and precision in construction.

Comparison Essay:

When I first started writing my PSA, I couldn’t really figure out who my intended audience was other than the current construction workers. But as I started writing it looked into some helpful sources, as well as peer reviewing some of my classmates papers, I also knew I had to include the next generation of construction workers, which are the people in school that want to get a degree in the construction field. This is because the people that already have a job in the construction field, will most likely keep their job, but the people that are just getting out of college looking for a job, it may be a little tougher for them since, AI could already do most of the stuff that they were taught to do in school.

 The first Chat GPT version was not what I expected to be honest, I initially thought that I would get basically a new text about the same topic, but what I got instead was a paraphrased copy of my PSA. This definitely does make sense though considering I told Chat GPT to rewrite my PSA for a sixth grade reading level. It definitely was a success though because a sixth grader obviously doesn’t have the reading levels that a college student would have, so it does put some of my points into simpler terms for the sixth grade reader to understand. 

The second Chat GPT version was a success in my opinion. I initially asked AI to rewrite my PSA for a reader that has a PHD. And that is exactly what AI did. It took my writing and not only made it sound more professional, but took a bunch of my ideas and elaborated more on it. With my first Chat Gpt for the sixth grader that was a very small difference in a few of the sentences but I feel like in this version, it’s all completely different, if somebody gave made me read my PSA and AI’s PSA there’s a possibility I would’ve thought that they’re two completely different PSA’s.

Title: AI in the Construction Industry

Key Question: How is AI going to impact the construction industry for the current workers and the next generation of people wanting to get into the construction industry?

Body Text: It’s no shock that AI is rapidly growing, and making its way into almost every industry.

Reflection:

The past few weeks have been a difficult but fun learning experience writing my own PSA. It took me a while to figure out what I want to write about, and how I want to put my thoughts together. But when I finally figured all that out, it all kind of came naturally to me. I don’t view my writing skills as a strong suit, but for the most part I’m pretty happy with how my overall PSA turned out. Doing this paper helped me learn how to use chat gpt to my benefit. Prior to this assignment I never really wanted to use chat gpt because it didn’t feel like it was my own work, but after working with AI for a few weeks I learned that I don’t need to get answers from chat gpt, I could simply use it as a little hint. And from that little hint I could use my own mind to create my own work. 

For me the easiest part of this PSA was gathering all of my references. I never knew how many articles the internet had on my topic. But I came to find out that there’s a bunch. And I knew that all of the references were trustworthy when I read through a bunch of them and literally all of the articles had the same information. Another easy part of this assignment was figuring out which information was necessary for me and which wasn’t, because I could’ve put a bunch of information in this assignment but a lot of it would be either repetitive or information that isn’t totally necessary. Some of the hardest parts of this PSA was working with chat gpt. This is because I never really used AI as much as I did for this assignment and it was just a new experience. The worst thing was how every time I put in the same information I would get a different answer. This is because there were times where I forgot to write down some of the things AI gave me and I couldn’t quite remember what I wanted to write after that. 

If I had another week to write this PSA I would probably try to work on my comparison essay a bit more. I already feel like my comparison essay is pretty strong, but I feel like it’s definitely not my best work. Some things I feel like I could’ve added is why I chose to rewrite my PSA to those 2 particular groups of people, which were sixth graders and people that have a PHD. But other than this I wouldn’t change much else. 

How have my views on generative AI changed during this project? Now that I’ve completed this project I don’t think my views have changed much. I’m still not the biggest fan of using AI. This is because of the possibility that it still might not give you the correct information. I could ask AI for some help with something that I’m struggling with and there’s a possibility that AI could give me the wrong answer, and I might be put in the wrong direction.

Week 3: Body text, generative AI versions, and comparison essay

The Three Versions of My PSA:

Version 1: My own Writing.

Title: Software Engineers working with AI: Pros and Cons

As AI continues to grow rapidly and become more efficient, software engineers have a new tool to help them improve their work. AI has the ability to generate codes, identify and fix bugs which forwards the process of development. However, Engineers shouldn’t completely rely on AI as it can be biased and lack the ability to understand how and why they made their decision. It is important to understand that AI can be helpful and at the same time harmful. This is one of the main reasons why everyone not only engineers should, if necessary, use it moderately.

Version 2: ChatGPT #1:

Prompt: rewrite this PSA to be college graduate reading.

ChatGPT:

As AI technology evolves rapidly, it presents software engineers with a powerful tool to enhance their work. AI can now generate code, identify bugs, and expedite the development process. However, engineers should exercise discernment, as AI models may carry biases and lack an understanding of the rationale behind certain decisions. While AI can be both beneficial and potentially limiting, it’s important to recognize the need for a balanced approach. This cautious engagement with AI extends beyond engineering—everyone should consider using it thoughtfully and in moderation when appropriate.

APA citation GPT40

Version 3: ChatGPT #2:

Prompt: rewrite this paragraph by adding more precautions

CharGPT:

As AI technology continues to advance at an unprecedented rate, it offers software engineers a powerful tool for enhancing productivity by generating code, identifying bugs, and streamlining development processes. However, this power comes with significant considerations. Engineers must exercise caution, as AI tools can carry embedded biases, generate unpredictable outputs, and lack an understanding of the underlying reasoning or ethical considerations in decision-making. Relying too heavily on AI can result in compromised code integrity and unforeseen consequences in applications.

It’s essential to approach AI as a supportive tool, not a replacement for human expertise and critical thinking. Regular auditing, thorough testing, and human oversight should remain central to ensure that outputs align with both technical and ethical standards. Beyond engineering, this measured approach to AI usage applies to everyone. AI has transformative potential, but thoughtful, moderate use is key to leveraging it safely and responsibly.

APA citation

GPT40

Comparison Essay: at least 300 words

The three paragraphs present a progressive perspective on the role of AI in software engineering, emphasizing both its benefits and the necessity for caution. Each version conveys the message that while AI can significantly enhance the efficiency of development processes, it should not be relied upon exclusively. However, the depth of caution and the articulation of risks evolve through the iterations.

The first paragraph introduces AI as a tool that improves software engineering by generating code and fixing bugs. It notes the potential drawbacks of AI, such as bias and a lack of understanding in its decision-making processes. The message emphasizes the importance of moderate use among engineers and acknowledges the dual nature of AI as both helpful and potentially harmful. However, it remains relatively surface-level, focusing mainly on engineers without delving deeply into the implications of AI reliance.

The second paragraph expands on these themes, reinforcing the idea that engineers must exercise discernment when using AI. It articulates the risks associated with biases and unpredictability, while also highlighting the importance of maintaining human oversight. This version urges a balanced approach, positioning AI as a tool to augment human capabilities rather than replace them.

Tittle:

Navigating the AI Revolution: Essential insights for New Engineering Graduates.

Key Question:

How can graduated engineering students effectively integrate AI tools into their workflow while maintaining critical thinking and minimizing potential biases?

PSA:

As AI continues to grow rapidly and become more efficient, software engineers have a new tool to help them improve their work. AI has the ability to generate codes, identify and fix bugs which forwards the process of development. However, Engineers shouldn’t completely rely on AI as it can be biased and lack the ability to understand how and why they made their decision. It is important to understand that AI can be helpful and at the same time harmful. This is one of the main reasons why everyone not only engineers should, if necessary, use it moderately. It’s essential to approach AI as a supportive tool, not a replacement for human expertise and critical thinking. This ensures that AI remains a resource rather than a liability, helping to augment human work without undermining it. Moderation and oversight are key to maximizing the benefits of AI while minimizing its risks.

Call-to-Action:

Embrace AI as a tool, but don’t forget the value of your own expertise! As a new engineering graduate balance AI’s support with your critical thinking to create reliable, innovative solutions. Lead responsibly in the growing world of AI.

Reflection Essay: 400-600 words.

Throughout this project, I have gained significant insight into the evolving relationship between software engineering and artificial intelligence (AI). I’ve learned that AI is transforming how engineers approach development, offering new tools for code generation, bug detection, and optimization. The potential of AI to automate mundane tasks allows engineers to focus on higher-level problem-solving and innovation. However, the project also emphasized the limitations of AI, especially regarding biases in decision-making and the lack of contextual understanding in its output. This balance of benefits and drawbacks has been crucial to understanding how AI should be integrated into the field of software engineering.

The easiest part of this project was grasping the sheer potential AI holds for the software development process. The positive impacts of AI in speeding up tasks, identifying patterns, and suggesting solutions were straightforward to understand. It was clear that AI could automate repetitive tasks, freeing up time for engineers to focus on more complex issues, which is a significant advantage in an industry driven by efficiency and constant innovation.

On the other hand, the hardest part of this project was acknowledging the limitations and risks associated with AI. While AI tools are powerful, they also come with inherent biases that can affect their outputs. Understanding that AI does not “think” or “understand” in the way humans do was challenging. Engineers must be aware that while AI-generated code might look correct on the surface, it may overlook nuanced factors, leading to subtle bugs or security risks. This highlights the necessity of not blindly trusting AI but using it as a complement to human expertise. Identifying these nuances and understanding the complexities of balancing AI’s advantages with its limitations required a deeper level of analysis and consideration.

If I had another week, I would dive deeper into the ethical considerations of using AI in software development. Although this project touched on the risks of bias and the need for critical oversight, I feel there is more to explore in terms of how AI could impact the diversity of ideas and perspectives in engineering teams. I would also investigate how AI’s role in automating tasks could affect employment within the industry. By exploring these topics more fully, I could gain a more comprehensive understanding of the long-term implications of AI integration in the workplace.

During this project, my views on generative AI have shifted significantly. Initially, I viewed AI primarily as a tool for productivity and innovation. However, I now recognize that, while AI can enhance human capabilities, it cannot replace the critical thinking, creativity, and ethical considerations that human engineers bring to the table. Generative AI is an excellent tool when used wisely, but it should never overshadow the importance of human oversight and decision-making. I now see AI as an augmentation of human effort rather than a replacement, which has reshaped my perspective on how technology can enhance, rather than replace, the work we do.

Ultimately, this project has helped me understand both the immense potential and the inherent risks of generative AI in software engineering. As AI continues to evolve, it is crucial for engineers, particularly recent graduates, to embrace it with caution and a critical mindset. AI can assist, but it should never replace the thoughtful decision-making and ethical responsibility that come with human involvement.

Aha Moment

My “Aha!” moment in this project might be when you realize that while AI can speed up tasks and help with coding, it can’t replace human creativity and judgment. You might first think AI can do all the thinking for you, but then you understand that it lacks the deep understanding and context that humans have. This moment of realization shows you that AI is meant to work alongside humans, not take over. It’s about using AI to help, not replace, your skills.

Week 2

Brainstorm idea:

Safety improvements in motorsports. Even to this day severe accidents still occur in motorsports. Every year a driver is severely injured or forced to retire or even worse. Safety in motorsports has come along way, now we have designed computers and computer models, testing, and much more. But wouldn’t it be even better if AI can help improve, not only these tools, but also safety in motorsports.

Topic ideas:

With the power of AI we can still improve if not add a new dimension to these categories;

• Improved vehicle design/safety
• Helmet and headgear safety
• Predictive crash prevention
• Driver biometric monitoring
• Improved training and development

Week 3
Title: Motorsports and a new perspective with AI

Version 1 – My own handwriting

Motorsports is thrilling. The speed, the skill, the, story, the competitive nature, it’s what makes races exciting to witness. But behind all the glitz and glamour and prestige, there’s a lot going on behind the scenes to keep the show running safe and smoothly. As an example, the helmets aren’t just designed to protect anymore, now, it’s designed using AI simulations to predict impacts and improve overall build and construction as best as possible. The cars themselves now monitor every minute detail in real time to see the health of the car. Even the drivers health is tracked as well using biometrics sensors that can detect if a driver is injured or as some sort of bodily problem. Safety in motorsports isn’t stagnating anymore, with the help of AI we can continue to innovate and improve the sport as a whole.

Version 2

Prompt: Rewrite the following PSA to be grammatically correct, as well as being smoother, and correct any other mistakes as well.

Motorsports are thrilling. The speed, the skill, the stories, and the competitive spirit make races exciting to witness. But behind all the glitz, glamour, and prestige, there’s a lot happening behind the scenes to keep everything running safely and smoothly. For example, helmets are no longer just designed to protect—they’re now developed using AI simulations to predict impacts and optimize their construction. Cars themselves monitor every minute detail in real time to assess their mechanical health. Even drivers’ health is tracked through biometric sensors that can detect injuries or other physical issues. Safety in motorsports is no longer stagnant. With the help of AI, we continue to innovate and enhance the sport as a whole.

Version 3

Prompt: Now rewrite this same PSA but this time for an 11th grader with an average understanding of cars and AI.

Motorsports are exciting because of the speed, the skills of the drivers, and the competitive spirit. But behind all the action, there’s a lot of effort to keep everything safe and running smoothly. For example, helmets aren’t just made to protect anymore—they’re designed using AI to predict impacts and make them stronger. The cars also have real-time monitoring to keep track of their condition. Even drivers’ health is checked using sensors that can detect injuries or other problems. Thanks to AI, safety in motorsports keeps improving, making the sport better for everyone.

Reflection

Originally when making this PSA I was just making it to benefit myself as I’m already well known to the world of motorsports. But now looking at things, this would be a great opportunity for me show people my admiration for motorsports as well as show off the technology that the sport has to offer, primarily with its safety. At first I had trouble deciding what I should talk about since I didn’t really have any “concerns” about the world, but I ultimately decided on safety in motorsports using AI, because it’s something I can educate people on and something I am very familiar with.

In regard to my first attempt with ChatGPT, I asked it to basically correct and smooth out my PSA, and it does its job but not in a drastic way. Even in my handwritten PSA I already knew what points I wanted to get across, so when I asked ChatGPT to rewrite my PSA in the prompt I wanted, it changed my PSA very little. But in terms of the stuff it did fix it did a few, for example, it my 5th sentence, the “example”, it made the sentence more professional, using a double hyphen. In addition to this, the final three sentences are well improved in terms of structure and punctuation.

In my opinion, the third attempt had a more impactful difference. I asked the ChatGPT to rewrite the previous PSA to the language of an 11th grader with an average knowledge of cars. This one, I like more, because it makes my PSA a lot more understandable to the average person who doesn’t know much about motorsports and its terminologies. The PSA is also a lot shorter than in my first attempt, making a lot easier to read not only for me but for someone else as well.  The third attempt also gets all the points in the PSA across without being to long nor too short.

Reflection:

This PSA I did was for the most part, enjoyable but exhausting at the same time, I was already knowledgeable with the subject of motorsports and its safety, given the fact that I’ve been around the sport ever since I was kid, I even had a go kart as a child for a number of years. And I actually attended the 2006, 2007, and 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix, fun fact. The enjoyable parts of the PSA was that I wasn’t lost in terms of what I wanted to talk about, it was very easy for me to do, however, the exhausting part for me was getting all my references and organizing everything.

As previously mentioned, I’m already familiar with motorsports and its safety advancements, so I had no problem researching specific information or even heading in specific direction. However, I did have trouble finding references. AI in motorsports is a relatively new field to research, so I couldn’t find articles like these on the New York Times or other similar newsletters. I actually found my cornerstone articles just by googling “AI improvements in motorsports” and got two good articles, likewise on YouTube for two videos that I liked. In terms of organization, I am a professional procrastinator, I’m in the hall of fame of procrastinators. That was my biggest obstacle in this project was organizing everything I had, I wrote everything first on my notes app and then I would copy and paste everything into Open Labs.

Talking about learning, while researching, I didn’t know that AI improvements in motorsports isn’t just limited to the car, it also is equally advancing along with driver safety. I didn’t think AI was being implemented or used in both car and driver at the same rate.

I think if I had another week I would’ve used it to organize everything properly, that was my biggest headache, I’m not a naturally organized when it comes to work, so having another would’ve given me a lot of breathing room considering the fact that this final week of this project coincides with my mid-term tests.

What I learned about AI is that it works very well at summarizing and organizing text that you present it. I’ve been using AI since September of last year and I’m very satisfied that you can also use the system to answer any question you present it with, regardless of difficulty and length. I was also relieved to find out that when using ChatGPT the system didn’t struggle with extremely long text, like in the triple digits of word counts, and actually got great responses, I kept iterating and kept getting better and clearer responses from the system. Overall, the system greatly surprised me with this project.

• Week 3: My PSA

Version 1: My Writing

A Human Touch in Architecture

As AI keeps growing in popularity within different industries, they try to implement it to increase productivity. Architecture is one of those careers that is recruiting the help of AI, and as an architecture student who is looking to get into the field it is important to know the importance of where to draw the line. AI’s ability to easily access codes or material specification or it’s ease in generating visual ideas between architect and client is very appealing, however it is best to keep in mind that the design process can involve a human connection and cultural connection to solve unique problems. The AI’s ability to generate ideas come from previous ideas put together and not its own innovations, which can lead to repetitive design due to its processes and data being explicit and formalized. Therefore, when learning about designing architecture and being introduced to utilizing AI in projects it is important to use it as a tool and not let it do all the work and value the human ability of bring unique and exciting ideas to the field.

Version 2: Chat GPT 1 

Prompt: Can you make this sound more like a PSA, add more on the humanity of designing architecture, and make it around 150 words?

AI is transforming architecture, making technical tasks like material specifications and visualization faster than ever. But architecture is more than efficiency—it’s about creating spaces that resonate with humanity. Each design tells a story, shaped by culture, history, and the unique insights of the architect. While AI can generate ideas based on past data, it lacks the intuition, originality, and emotional depth that human touch brings to a space. Overreliance on AI risks a future of repetitive designs that don’t connect with people. As you step into this field, remember: AI is a tool, not the designer. Use it to streamline, not to replace your vision. By embracing creativity and empathy, you can craft spaces that honor the human experience, ensuring architecture remains not just functional, but deeply meaningful.

APA Citation:

Version 3: Chat GPT 2

Prompt: Can you make the wording sound more complex for an architecture grad student and change the first sentence to have better examples for what AI can do for architecture?

AI is revolutionizing architecture, accelerating intricate processes like site analysis, energy modeling, and rapid prototyping with unprecedented efficiency. Yet, architecture transcends mere productivity—it is the art of crafting spaces that resonate with the human spirit. Each design conveys a narrative, shaped by cultural context, historical layers, and the architect’s unique perspective. While AI can synthesize concepts from existing data, it fundamentally lacks the intuition, innovation, and emotional resonance that only human insight can bring to a space.

An overreliance on AI risks a future of formulaic, disconnected designs. As you advance in this field, remember: AI is a powerful instrument, but it is not the creator. Leverage it to refine processes, not to replace your vision. By centering empathy and creativity, you can craft spaces that truly honor the human experience, ensuring that architecture remains not only functional but profoundly meaningful.

Comparison Essay 

When starting my PSA my first thought was to do one on AI being integrated into architecture because as an architecture student it is in my mind when thinking about my future in the profession. My idea really came to me when searching for sources related to AI and architecture and I saw an article written on the connection between the human experience and how essential that is to the process of design and making a building that connects to people. Due to the source I was able to connect all of the possible ideas I had prior and have a central idea I could get behind. I also did not want it to just be towards the designer themselves but also show how having AI designed buildings affect the people that will occupy them.

The first Chat went well due to its changes making my PSA smoother, having more of a welcoming nature to it and highlighting the importance of humanity within designing architecture. In my first essay I did not actually give much information of what actually goes into designing architecture that makes it more personable. I enjoyed these sentences that the first Chat added to show that, “But architecture is more than efficiency—it’s about creating spaces that resonate with humanity. Each design tells a story, shaped by culture, history, and the unique insights of the architect”. However, what I thought I could add to the PSA would give more credit to AI’s ability if used correctly and add examples which leads into my second Chat.

353 Word Comparison Essay:

Initially, for this PSA, I wanted to speak on AI therapy and how people use it as a supportive tool for mental health. With the growing use of AI in our daily lives, many have turned to AI as a platform for therapeutic guidance and emotional support. Instead, I spoke on AI being used in digital marketing, highlighting how businesses can incorporate AI tools to enhance their content. The PSA was to push the recognition of digital marketing even though it has been around for a while now. Although my PSA is aimed at a broad audience, I specifically wanted to target 9-5 workers who may feel like quitting and are seeking opportunities to work from the comfort of their home while earning good income.

Chat Version 1 successfully reached a broader audience while effectively targeting 9-to-5 workers in a clear way. The messaging highlighted the key subjects being announced, using straightforward language that was easy to understand. My PSA went from “Are you someone that has been interested in starting a digital marketing business? to “Are you ready to leave your 9-5 job behind and start a digital marketing business?” This shift allowed the PSA to still target a broad audience while zooming in on 9-5 workers who may be looking for better opportunities. Afterward, my PSA went into highlighting the benefits of AI. While I thought that was a good start, I realized I needed to list specific reasons why traditional 9-to-5 workers might consider leaving their jobs that going into digital marketing will solve. 

I believe that the third Chat version came out better than the second. I like the reasons that were listed such as “more flexibility, control over your income, and the opportunity to build something of your own” that were spot on for the PSA. The starting question was shortened and got straight to the point. I really like the last sentence “Take control of your career and get those digits growing in your account!” due to it emphasizing the idea of entrepreneurship in digital marketing and taking immediate action ‌ to watch your money increase overtime.
