Steps/ questions for Ai

Title: AI Effects on Student’s Problem-Solving Skills

 

In today’s world, AI has been soaring with millions of users asking it questions and solving them. We use AI to help with our assignments like writing an essay for us, calculating mathematical equations, and fish information. However, the more we use AI to answer every question we may have, we sacrifice our problem-solving skills that will be indispensable to us in the future. As we give Ai a prompt to help solve mathematical problems, it has a chance of giving the wrong steps to students. The student could mistake those steps as the right way to solve for an answer which will hinder their thinking process. As we usher in the age of AI technology; we should be aware of its flaws; for if we don’t use it properly; we will lose our problem-solving skills: and become incapable of learning from our failures.  Now this doesn’t mean that you can’t use AI to help you out. For example, you can use it to see the possible calculations that you have to do but not blatantly copy from it.

 

ChatGPT version 1

Prompt “Rewrite my psa for an audience that are in junior high school”

Title: How AI Affects Your Problem-Solving Skills

AI is becoming a big part of our lives, with millions of people using it to answer questions and solve problems. It can help with schoolwork, like writing essays, solving math problems, or finding information. But if we rely on AI to answer everything for us, we might lose important problem-solving skills that we’ll need in the future. use AI to solve math problems, it might give us the wrong steps. If we just copy what it says without thinking, we might learn things the wrong way, and that could mess up how we solve problems on our own.

As we keep using AI, it’s important to remember that it’s not perfect. If we don’t use it carefully, we could lose the ability to solve problems ourselves and learn from our mistakes. This doesn’t mean you can’t use AI—it’s a great tool! You can use it to help figure out the steps, but make sure to think through the problem yourself instead of just copying it.”

ChatGPT version 3

Promote: “Now rewrite it for an audience of college student”

Title: The Impact of AI on Student Problem-Solving Skills

Title: The Impact of AI on Your Problem-Solving Skills

AI is quickly becoming an integral part of academic life, with millions of users turning to it for answers and solutions. Whether it’s writing essays, solving complex math equations, or researching information, AI tools offer tremendous convenience. However, over-relying on AI for answers can diminish your problem-solving skills, which are essential for your future success.

For example, using AI to solve a mathematical problem might provide incorrect steps. If you follow those steps without understanding them, it can hinder your critical thinking and disrupt your learning process. Blindly trusting AI can lead to misconceptions, making it harder to develop independent problem-solving abilities.

As we continue to embrace AI technology, it’s important to recognize its limitations and use it responsibly. AI can be a valuable tool, but it’s not a substitute for your own reasoning. Instead of copying what AI provides, use it as a guide to help you think through the problem yourself. This way, you maintain and sharpen your problem-solving skills, ensuring you’re prepared for challenges ahead.

Comparison essay:

When I first started this essay, I aimed to bring out the possible problem with using AI to do your homework for you. I was going to say that using AI to do your work is the same as handing it to someone else to do it for you. However, I came to a better problem of it as to how it affects our problem-solving skills. This led to me writing about the potential problems that you may encounter when using AI to answer a mathematical question and how those steps could be wrong which will mislead you into thinking you got the right answer. I believe that our ability to problem solve and motivation to try better could be lost as we depend on answers from AI.

 The first Chat at the start of the PSA wrote “AI is becoming a big part of our lives, with millions of people using it to answer questions and solve problems.”(OpenAI 2024 https://chat.openai.com/chat). This mirrors my PSA: “In today’s world, AI has been soaring with millions of users asking it questions and solving them” (Yeung,2024,np). The Ai response separates the topic of introducing AI and how it benefits us, The problem of using it to solve homework problems, and how to use it. It just rewards my response without changing my response setup.

As for the second chatbot, when I ask you to “Now rewrite it for an audience of college students”. It starts with the same first few words of the first chatbot. However, the second chatbot response uses more detail in each sentence than mine. It used power words like “sharpen”(OpenAI 2024 https://chat.openai.com/chat). While it’s typed in a college-level response, it has some errors like the placement of commas.

week 4:

My  final version of the PSA

Title: AI Effects on Student’s Problem-Solving Skills

Key question: How AI today could affect future students’ education.

PSA:

In today’s world, AI has been soaring with millions of users asking it questions and solving them. We use AI to help with our assignments like writing an essay for us, calculating mathematical equations, and fish information. However, the more we use AI to answer every question we may have, the more we sacrifice our problem-solving skills that will be indispensable to us in the future. As we give Ai a prompt to help solve mathematical problems, it has a chance of giving the wrong steps to students. The student could mistake those steps as the right way to solve for an answer which will hinder their thinking process. As we usher in the age of AI technology; we should be aware of its flaws; for if we don’t use it properly; we will lose our problem-solving skills: and become incapable of learning from our failures.  Now this doesn’t mean that you can’t use AI to help you out. For example, you can use it to see the possible calculations that you have to do but not blatantly copy from it.

 

Call to action: If you want to use Ai to help you with your homework or understanding the concept of what the question is asking, then you have to be careful about the answer it gives and double check the work.

Reflective essay: My PSA Project was difficult with having multiple tasks to do, yet I was able to navigate through the tasks individually and write them out. I managed to get through this project by working on it whenever I wasn’t busy like on the trains. This reflection essay will explore how I did the project and what I learned, what was easy and hard, what would I have done if I had another week, and how my views on AI changed. 

I learned three things during this 5 week AI assignment. First was my step in planning how to do the PSA. I first had a good idea of how to write it in my notebook and then typed them all out onto my phone. From there it was easy for me to transfer my responses and put them onto open lab on my computer since I only have open lab signed in there. Then I coped and passed my PSA response to ChatGPT and asked it to rewrite my response at a college level and a junior high school level. Now the second thing I learned was that when the AI would rewrite my PSA, its response felt robotic as it stated farces that were all known. Now the third thing that I learned was that this project was very time-consuming and was better for me to do things little by little or I would feel burned out.

The easy thing about this PAS was that I had a mental template of how I want the project to look like. For example, I wanted to plan on writing my PSA topic on how AI can affect Students’ problem-solving skills. The hard thing that I had to do was make sure that I was following the guidelines but writing the comparison essay as it was hard for me to compare my PSA and the AI PSA as I had to look at the difference between them.

If I had another week to do this project, I would have focused more on the comparison essay as I was crunching on the due dates for each part of the project along with any other work I had. This way, I could feel less stressed and help flesh out the details more.

How does my view on AI change? I believe that my view on AI has changed slightly as I see the benefits of AI. It could help me save some time by summarizing the key points. However, it could give me a complicated response that I have to waste time trying to understand.
