Three Versions of my PSA:

Version 1:

My own thought: 

AI is already a controversial topic in many industries and many are scared they’ll be the next subjects of structural unemployment. However, one industry where historically workers are erased and their work “professionally plagiarized” – as I like to call it, is the music industry. Time and time again especially in the early stages of black soul and R&B music it was usually barred from entering mainstream white radio stations but flipped and stolen by white musicians. Currently in the early stages of AI, on social media platforms we can see AI replicating celebrity voices like those of Beyoncé, Drake, and even the late Michael Jackson. Most of the music sounds robotic and most can tell when it’s AI, because just like in writing AI cannot capture emotion and in music – soulful vocal displays. Beyoncé specifically is known for deep growls in her music at the ends of words in songs with sensitive subject matter, this technique cannot be recreated by AI. Companies are even able to avoid lawsuits under the claim that the utilization of the software is harmless. Another aspect under consideration is audio engineering which is a broad category that encompasses production of beats, backing vocals, and ultimately the final touches on a song. While the largest music production company UMG almost automatically endorsed and invested in AI contribution software in not only audio engineering but other facets like songwriting. Ultimately, music is such an intimate and personal experience which is why different people around the world have their own genres. Music is rooted in global expression of their cultural struggles and identities, artificial intelligence cannot create that very real experience of making and consuming music.

Version 2

ChatGPT Prompt #1: 

Rewrite this prompt to be smoother and to discuss more about the dangers of AI’s erasure of creativity. What this means specifically for marginalized communities that use music as an expression of social struggle and identity.

ChatGPT Response: 

The rapid rise of AI is sparking intense debate across industries, as many fear the technology could lead to structural unemployment and the erasure of human creativity. Nowhere is this concern more poignant than in the music industry, where erasure and exploitation have a long history. Black soul, jazz, and early R&B, for instance, were often sidelined from mainstream radio, only to have their styles appropriated by white artists who profited from these innovations. Today, the threat to original artistry is coming from a different direction: artificial intelligence. We already see AI replicating the voices of icons like Beyoncé, Drake, and even the late Michael Jackson—artificial renditions that, while technologically impressive, still sound hollow. These replicas lack the emotional depth and cultural specificity that only human artistry brings. For example, the emotional growls that Beyoncé layers into songs dealing with sensitive themes cannot be reproduced by algorithms.

The impacts of AI on creativity extend even further in music production, with major companies like Universal Music Group investing heavily in AI software for audio engineering, beat production, and songwriting. This embrace of AI signals a troubling shift, suggesting that corporate efficiency might outweigh the preservation of human expression in music.

For marginalized communities, especially those who have used music as a tool for social protest, identity, and resilience, AI poses a unique threat. Music born from struggle and the experience of oppression is deeply personal, woven from cultural nuances and histories that AI cannot replicate. For Black communities, Latinx communities, Indigenous artists, and other historically marginalized groups, music isn’t just sound—it’s a lifeline to history, identity, and shared experience. By allowing AI to erase the human hand in music creation, we risk silencing these voices once again, this time under the guise of technological progress.

Version 3:

ChatGPT Prompt #2:

Rearrange this PSA as a pitch for an audience that is scared to pursue music for fear of AI erasure but has stories to tell through music on how to get on top of AI utilization or preserve creativity so authentically that AI isn’t needed for the near future.

ChatGPT Response:

If you’ve ever felt hesitant to pursue music because of AI’s impact on the industry, remember: your voice and story are your strongest assets—ones that AI simply cannot replicate. While the tech world is rapidly advancing, the heart of music remains the same: it’s about telling real stories, expressing genuine emotions, and connecting with listeners on a personal level. This is especially true for artists from marginalized communities, where music has long been a vessel for sharing social struggles, celebrating identity, and preserving culture. AI might be able to generate sounds, but it can’t authentically convey the nuances of cultural histories, lived experiences, or the deep emotions that make music feel alive.

For artists with stories to tell, consider how you can preserve and elevate your creativity to stand out in a world where AI is gaining traction. Focus on developing your unique voice, refining the skills that make your music authentically you. Lean into elements like soulful vocal techniques, storytelling through lyrics, and innovative beats that reflect your personal and cultural background. Create music that resonates emotionally with listeners, and build a connection that no algorithm can replicate.

You can also explore ways to integrate AI as a tool rather than a replacement. Use AI-driven software selectively in production to streamline certain technical aspects without compromising your creative essence. By balancing tech with authenticity, you can harness AI’s strengths without losing what makes your music original.

Now is the time to double down on what makes you irreplaceable as an artist. Pursue your music knowing that no machine can replicate the authenticity and depth of human expression. AI might change the industry, but it will never replace the power of a true, human voice

Comparison Essay:

My PSA definitely holds bias, I wanted to speak to people not AI so I was holding a stance against the use of AI. I hold art in high regard and want to pursue it as a career so this critique directly affects me and being old enough to research the future of mine and my peer’s careers is a privilege that I do not take lightly. Before my research I wanted to denounce the use of AI in an art form as precious and transformative as music production. Key word being production as the final product is not only art, the techniques in which to get there are just as much art as the final song. I wanted to emphasize the erasure of human creativity but after seeing company responses as well as the trajectory of the current election I realized that money truly does make the ‘world-go-round’. The companies that fund and pay artists care little for the stories that artists have to tell and more about what profit they can make so of course investing and utilizing AI in the music industry would continue whether I thought it ethical or not.

With this realization ChatGPT did a good job at condensing my ideas and using encompassing vocabulary rather than my rambling dialogue. The particular line about the historical replacement of black music, Chat replaced it with “Black soul, jazz, and early R&B, for instance, were often sidelined from mainstream radio, only to have their styles appropriated by white artists who profited from these innovations.”. I believe this language was much more concise and properly portrayed the idea that I couldn’t put into words. All in all the writing is much more uniform than my initial first drafted idea, which was an amalgamation of various ideas that I wanted to include the more I researched.

The third prompt was my personal favorite in the sense that it was able to capture the idea so quickly. When thinking of a complex idea it usually takes me days if not weeks of thinking to reach my ‘Eureka!’ moment. However, I appreciate the tonal shift that Chat performed as they talked directly to my intended audience and structured the essay in a way that was empowering even giving a personally inspiring demand at the end saying “Now is the time to double down on what makes you irreplaceable as an artist.

---

Kaydin Chappel’s Final PSA

Title: AI won’t replace your voice! Your creative expression is vital in keeping the medium alive. AI is no more than a tool to be utilized by the maker!

Key Question: Did you know that AI can imitate sound, but it can’t replicate the emotion, culture, and depth that make music truly powerful?

PSA: AI is already a controversial topic in many industries and many are scared they’ll be the next subjects of structural unemployment.  AI doesn’t have real experiences, emotions, or a story to tell, so it shouldn’t be treated as a substitute for human artistry. When it comes to music, especially for artists from marginalized communities, creativity is born from real struggles, identities, and histories that AI simply can’t capture. The sounds that you hear in Beyoncé’s Lemonade album and even the composition of Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN. are rooted in the struggles that persist in the black community, respectively marital and broader institutionalized narratives. They are telling a story and AI might create melodies, but it will never match the depth of human expression or the real, personal connections music can build.

Call-to-Action: Let’s prioritize creativity that comes from the heart and uplift artists who bring real meaning to their music. Take a moment to appreciate the real stories and emotions behind the songs you listen to. Support artists who create authentic, heartfelt music, and think critically about how AI might impact the future of creativity.

Reflection: 

When approaching AI I thought that there was no place at all for it in creative spaces, and the art of the craft of not only music (my PSA topic), but writing itself is under threat as creativity and human error are a part of the process that classifies it as art. I have used AI in the past, I have used it to generalize a topic that I didn’t feel like researching in depth as well as in high school drafting entire essays when I didn’t have time to do so myself. So coming into this unit, I knew that AI was very recognizable as it doesn’t relay information as a human would and does so much more robotically.

However, with small edits to the language and transitions I could make it sound like me – the problem came with ideas. ChatGPT won’t come up with it’s own opinions on topics. As the user you need to give Chat very specific instructions on what you want answered and how. If I wanted a draft for an essay prompt I’d find myself typing close to an entire body paragraph to the AI to make sure it is saying what I intend it to. So for right now, we are in control of AI. The fear comes from how fast change can happen. From the 1920-2020 in only a single century we have seen 2 world wars, the birth of the internet, global communication through social media and smartphones and so much more. The centuries before that that make up a majority of human history show change at an exponentially slower rate. With the increase in the speed of change it is logical to assume that we are only decades before the rise of AI invasion into our lives and our jobs. This fear in a lot of people I asked is rooted in the depictions in media, particularly dystopian and sci-fi films. Ultimately, media has such a large impact on our lives and our perception of the world around as and provides a framework for what our future could look like.

My concern was what if AI takes over that as well? With our human rights being on the line in this election our thoughts and creative expression, as a result, might be the only things we have left. When thinking of a complex idea it usually takes me days if not weeks of thinking to reach my ‘Eureka!’ moment. I usually peddle through sources and my own thoughts to conclude an idea and when I finally do formulate it in the conventions of writing takes additional hours. AI was able to complete that task for me in seconds which was helpful but in a broader spectrum might be detrimental to the human experience. Are thoughts are the one thing we truly own, in this election our basic human rights are being threatened however our thoughts are part of our human experience that no one can take away. If the process of thinking is minimized to searches that take mere seconds, education itself is threatened. People are already demonstrating an over reliance on short form content platforms like TikTok which are slowly but surely diminishing the attention spans of our generation so the speed of ChatGPT I believe will further curb pursuit of reading and articles and other slower educational media sources. While this is an essay on the comparison of ChatGPT’s performance I believe it is still extraordinarily important to point out as it emphasizes my point about the erasure of the creative process.

Version 1- My Own Thought

  AI and Road safety

AI has huge potential to improve road safety, and it’s already having a significant impact on the whole world. This includes accident prevention, AI technologies such as computer vision, machine learning, and sensor fusion-fueled systems that contribute to reducing human error and optimizing traffic flow. The point is to make roads an environment where technology will support safer driving, with AI working in harmony with human drivers, pedestrians, and infrastructure. 

Version 2 – ChatGPT 1

rewrite this PSA to be smoother and to discuss the AI in road safety

AI has huge potential to improve road safety and is already having a worldwide impact. From accident prevention to traffic optimization, AI-powered technologies such as computer vision, machine learning, and sensor fusion are actively lowering human error and improving road safety. The goal is to build road settings in which technology seamlessly promotes safer driving by combining AI with human drivers, pedestrians, and infrastructure.

Despite some problems, such as worries about data privacy, regulatory hurdles, and technical limitations, AI has enormous potential to minimize injuries and fatalities. As AI technology progresses, it has the potential to totally revolutionize our approach to road safety, resulting in a transportation system that is both safer and smarter for everyone.

Version 3 – ChatGPT 2

Rewrite this PSA for people who hate electric cars 

If you’re someone who’s skeptical about electric cars, it’s worth considering the advanced safety technologies they offer, especially those powered by AI. Modern electric vehicles, like those from Tesla and other brands, are equipped with cutting-edge AI systems that can significantly enhance road safety. These technologies, such as collision prevention, lane-keeping assistance, and adaptive cruise control, help reduce human error and make driving safer. While you may have concerns about the electric car experience, the safety benefits of AI-driven systems shouldn’t be overlooked. These cars use sensors, machine learning, and computer vision to make real-time decisions that can prevent accidents and improve overall driving. Even if electric cars aren’t your first choice, it’s hard to ignore how this technology is transforming road safety for everyone, making cars smarter, safer, and more efficient. Embracing the technology, regardless of the vehicle type, could mean safer journeys for you and those around you.

Comparison essay 

The first essay is dedicated to the wide scope of the influence that AI will make upon road safety in promoting accident prevention, reduction of human error, and smoothing traffic flow-all with the help of AI technologies like computer vision, machine learning, and sensor fusion. It sets a scene where AI in harmony with drivers, pedestrians, and infrastructure will support safer driving. The second essay expands this to discuss, in detail, the role AI can play in bringing down road injuries and deaths, but adds that this too will have its own challenges such as data privacy, regulatory issues, and limits put by technology itself. It discusses how AI may change the future of road safety. My PSA resembles the first two essays in building up one point of AI in improving road safety globally and underlining its strong features: reducing human error and optimizing the flow of traffic. However the GhatGPT paper does not deeply delve into any particular challenges such as data privacy or regulation-related issues, nor does it target electric car skeptics, hence my paper sounds so general and neutral. While the first and second essays speak to AI’s role in changing the face of road safety as a whole, the third essay appeals to a certain target and crusades the safety benefits accruing from electric vehicles, especially with regard to AI technology. Overall, the essays tend to have different stands on the topic of AI and road safety, and my public service announcement would just slightly lean toward a broader, global outlook that is conveyed in both the first and second essays.

Final PSA 

Title. AI electric cars vs Gas cars 

Key question. In the same situation will a human outperform the AI and which one is less dangerous and more safer? 

My own thought

I think AI will not outperform any human until it is more advanced. Due to the fact that human reaction is quicker. Despite the fact that AI is advancing in our lives every day. I don’t think everybody wants to drive electric cars but that’s what the market offers currently that has AI integrated into the system. At the same time not everybody wants to drive electric AI cars even though they claim to be safer but it hasn’t been tested. Unless AI improves a lot more than it already is, I do not consider it overtaking human beings in most areas, especially when reactions need to be quick and tactful in terms of making appropriate decisions. Human reflexes and the ability to adjust to an unforeseen circumstance still outstrip what AI can do at this time. That might all be true, considering that AI is increasingly being integrated into everyday life and even rapidly improving over time; there are areas of limitation that still exist. For instance, although AI technologies, those dealing with driving included, are in the roadmap, most of them are still being tested and haven’t completely given evidence they can do better than a human driver in most situations. Moreover, however electric vehicles with AI-powered systems are being integrated, not everyone is prepared to switch to an electric car. Quite a number of people still raise an eyebrow or simply just prefer conventional fuel-combustion cars. While the market might be impressing electric AI cars as the future of driving, these cars remain relatively new and untested on a large scale. Many would not entirely open their arms to these cars, not because they do not like them but because the long-term safety and reliability of the AI-driven electric vehicles are yet to be proved. While some would argue that these cars are safer since they have AI systems, the technology is still very young and hasn’t gone through all kinds of real-life scenarios. People will, until these issues are solved and the technology is fine-tuned, be leery about electric AI cars, which are supposed to offer enhanced safety.

Comparison essay:

Comparing these three versions, I think AI did a better job when it comes to organized writing, especially in tone, focus, and audience. All three paragraphs share the main idea that AI is transforming road safety and making driving safer, but each has a different audience and purpose. The rewritten versions by ChatGPT are smoother and more focused with the third paragraph offering practical advice for potential car buyers while my original paragraph is more general. My paragraph looks more like an introduction to an essay because I tried to convey to my audience by giving them little knowledge about AI and how it’s growing day by day. Then, I moved to my main point by stating my intended audience and giving some information from my research articles. And, finishing my writing with a conclusion sentence. The second rewritten response from ChatGPT seems more structured, more polished, and more detailed. It has a more formal tone and adds details to explain the benefits of AI in road safety. This version speaks to a broad audience including parents and the general public by showing how AI can protect people and make roads safer overall. The third paragraph, also rewritten by ChatGPT, is aimed specifically at people looking to buy a new car, emphasizing the safety features that AI offers. It makes a strong case for why buyers should consider these technologies when choosing a car, and most importantly it highlights peace of mind and safety for families. 

Reflection:

Working on this project changed my perspective on AI’s role in road safety and how useful it can be in everyday life. Throughout the process, I learned not only about AI’s technical capabilities, but also how to target different audiences and designs that are made to their interests. This project combined research and creativity, resulting in a one-of-a-kind learning experience that helped me understand both the benefits of AI and the challenges of clearly presenting complex information. 

The easiest part of this project was finding sources and learning about the various applications of AI in road safety. It was easy to collect knowledge and observe the practical effects of artificial intelligence on road safety because there were so many resources accessible, including papers and films. I discovered that AI is already involved in a lot of technology around us from ADAS to autonomous driving features. This part of the project was also exciting because I could see AI’s potential in reducing traffic accidents and protecting drivers, passengers, and pedestrians.

However, the hardest part of this project was shaping the information into a public service announcement (PSA) with a specific audience in mind. I needed to make the PSA educational but also engaging and adjusting my language for different target groups like car buyers or general readers was challenging. Each version of the PSA needed to be informative in order to find a balance between accuracy and simplicity. The comparative analysis of the PSA versions showed me how important it is to consider the audience’s needs and expectations.

If I had another week to work on this project, I would go deeper into researching the latest AI developments in road safety. Also, With more time, I would also try ro make my PSA look more better by putting some more information and more useful sources for my audience. 

My views on generative AI changed significantly through this project. Before, I mostly saw AI as a technical tool or something that could do specific tasks or automate processes. But now, I realize that generative AI has the ability to craft effective communication and adapt to different audiences. ChatGPT’s help in rephrasing my initial draft showed me that AI can play a supportive role in creating polished content which  makes my writing sound more organized and focused. Overall, this project helped me understand the power and versatility of AI both in technology and in writing. It made me see that AI can assist in areas beyond the technical field even helping students like me in communication tasks. AI has the potential to be a creative partner and a source of knowledge and I look forward to seeing how it will continue to evolve in the future.

Final PSA:

Title: AI is saving your life by driving into the future.

Key questions: We all know AI features are dominating in every technological industry including automotive industries. Cars with AI features are taking over the market but the question is, “Will AI features perform the same as humans or faster than humans in an emergency situation.” 

My own thought

The world is moving faster with technology and AI is accelerating its movement. Just a decade ago, solving complex problems took considerable time and effort, but now, AI enables tasks that once took hours to be completed within minutes. Some people are afraid of AI as well as some people are using it in their favor. In this era of AI, road safety is still a concern to the public in general and most importantly to the parents. But with the help of AI, this problem can also be fixed. Today, AI is being used in every aspect of road safety such as enhanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), Predictive Maintenance, Traffic Management Optimization and most importantly Autonomous Vehicles. Through advanced algorithms and machine learning, AI can analyze vast amounts of data from traffic patterns, vehicle behavior, and driver habits to predict and prevent potential hazards making driving safer and more reliable. Also, These technologies use AI to monitor traffic patterns, analyze vehicle performance, and assess driver behaviors, actively working to prevent accidents and enhance safety. As AI grows stronger and more refined, its impact on road safety becomes increasingly powerful, driving us closer to a future where the roads are safer for everyone. And most importantly, by choosing a car equipped with advanced AI features, you’re investing not only in cutting-edge technology but in greater peace of mind for you and your loved ones.

Call-to-Action: If you wanna buy a car, then buy the one with the most AI technologies. Because the more AI technologies, the safer it is.

The Rise of AI in Hollywood Storytelling

How is AI impacting the roles of writers in Hollywood, especially in light of the writers strike?  The earliest mention of usage of AI in the Hollywood industry was first introduced around 1927 with the silent film “Metropolis” directed by Fritz Lang which includes an AI robot. Around the 1950’s is when the usage of AI started to pick up more in films. Since then AI has taken over the Hollywood entertainment industry. While AI has allowed films to create the impossible with advanced technology, it’s advanced further to just additions to movies, it’s also killing jobs in hollywood. According to the Hollywood Reporter, “A study surveying 300 leaders across the entertainment industry reports that three- fourths of respondents indicated that AI tools supported the elimination, reduction or consolidation of jobs at their companies. Over the next three years, it estimates that nearly 204,000 positions will be adversely affected.” This study of 300 leaders in the entertainment industry found that most of them believe AI tools are helping to reduce, combine, or get rid of jobs at their companies. The study predicts that, in the next three years, about 204,000 jobs in the industry could be negatively impacted by this.  For 148 days, writers, celebrities, and others united in a strike to protest AI taking over in the creative process, alongside demands for higher royalties and mandatory staffing of writers. The strike emerged as a direct response to the increasing use of AI in replacing human writers This effort goes against the original goal of using AI as a tool to help, not replace, creative professionals. As AI keeps developing, it raises important questions about the future of jobs and creativity in Hollywood. In conclusion, the writers’ strike highlights a growing tension between technological advancement and the protection of creative jobs in Hollywood. While AI has proven to be a valuable tool for enhancing production capabilities, the industry’s reliance on automation without proper safeguards threatens to displace a significant portion of the workforce. In conclusion, the writers strike serves as a powerful reminder of the balance between embracing technological innovation and protecting the livelihoods of creative professionals in hollywood. While AI has brought exciting advancements to filmmaking, it also threatens to replace writers, actors and human workers. 

Version 2

Prompt: Rewrite this to sound smoother and what this means for up-and-coming actors, writers and directors

Artificial intelligence (AI) has had a long, evolving presence in Hollywood, with early portrayals dating back to the 1927 film *Metropolis*. By the 1950s, AI began influencing filmmaking through technological advancements, and today, it plays a significant role in production, from visual effects to scriptwriting. While AI has expanded creative possibilities and enabled the creation of stunning visuals, its growing role in the industry also raises concerns about the displacement of jobs, particularly for writers, actors, and directors. A recent study found that AI is contributing to job cuts and consolidations in the entertainment sector, with projections that nearly 204,000 positions could be impacted in the next three years. These concerns were at the heart of the 2023 writers’ strike, where industry professionals united to protest AI’s growing influence in the creative process. Writers, actors, and directors expressed fears that AI, once envisioned as a tool to enhance creativity, could replace human workers altogether. While AI can be a valuable asset—helping writers generate ideas, assisting directors in visualizing scenes, and even augmenting performances—it also threatens to reduce the demand for human talent. For emerging creatives, these developments present both opportunities and challenges. AI can democratize access to advanced production tools, but it also risks reducing job opportunities in favor of automation. The writers’ strike underscores the tension between innovation and the protection of creative jobs, reminding the industry that technology should support, not replace, human creativity. Emerging writers, actors, and directors will need to find a balance between embracing AI’s potential and advocating for protections that preserve their livelihoods.

Version #3

Prompt: Rearrange this PSA as a pitch for an audience that is scared to pursue music due to the sag aftra, wag strike.

If you’ve been hesitating to pursue music due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes, we get it—the uncertainty in Hollywood can make the future seem daunting. But while these strikes are about protecting workers from the rise of AI in film and television, the music industry is a different story. This moment of disruption actually presents a powerful opportunity for aspiring musicians like you. AI may be transforming entertainment, but the essence of music will always be about human expression. While technology is a valuable tool in production, it cannot replace the unique voice, emotion, and connection that only a human artist can bring. In music, the demand for originality and emotional depth is more vital than ever. Now, more than ever, people crave music that speaks to them on a personal level, and that’s something AI can never replicate. The strike is pushing back against the automation of creative work, which is ultimately about preserving the value of human labor. In the long run, these efforts are about ensuring that artists—whether in film, television, or music—are compensated fairly and respected for their creative contributions. While there are challenges in Hollywood, music remains an arena where your voice, passion, and authenticity will always be valued. So don’t let fear or uncertainty stop you. The music industry may be evolving, but it’s still driven by the power of human creativity. Now is the perfect time to embrace your passion, pursue your musical dreams, and be part of a movement that values real, human-driven art. The future of music, like all creative fields, belongs to those who create from the heart.

Comparison Essay

When comparing my own words to AI’s program-written words, I actually found both AI versions to be the better versions when it comes to being grammatically better. It sounded smoother and did an overall better job at explaining the point in fewer words. All three versions do have the same message though and I feel all three did a good job at expressing it in their own words. I like that I actually edited the AI versions and made them more personal to my preference. I would’ve added more quotes to my original PSA to make it stronger though. In addition, I think I could have provided more quotes to make the message resonate more deeply with the audience. The AI versions also gave me a better sense of how to structure my argument better, which was a helpful learning experience. Overall, it was interesting to see how AI could refine my writing while still allowing for my personal input.

Version 1: My thought.

As AI is getting more recognition, more people has been using it for many creative purposes. However one of the more controversial ones are using A.I technology to make and edit music. While they seem harmless at first, the A.I software generator uses software that can change vocals, instrumentals, speed, and even lyrics. This can cause a problem to new young artists looking to work in the music industry.

Version 2: CHATGPT Rewrite this paragraph as if it was intended for a business meeting with a corporate gaming company

“As artificial intelligence continues to gain recognition, its applications in creative fields are expanding significantly. However, one area of concern is the use of AI technology for music creation and editing. While these tools may appear harmless, they have the capability to alter vocals, instrumentals, tempo, and even lyrics. This raises potential challenges for emerging artists trying to establish themselves in the music industry, as it may impact the originality and marketability of their work. It’s crucial for us to consider these implications as we explore AI’s role in our projects.”

Version 3: CHATGPT rewrite this paragraph as if it was intended to be given in a high school class

“As artificial intelligence becomes more popular, people are using it in many creative ways. One area that has sparked some debate is using AI to create and edit music. At first glance, it might seem harmless, but these AI tools can change things like vocals, instruments, speed, and even lyrics. This can be a problem for new artists trying to break into the music industry, as it might affect their unique style and chances of success. It’s important to think about how this impacts musicians today.”

Reflection

When I first decided to start this PSA, my goal was to explain how musicians today may have struggles due to A.I, and I wanted to draw attention to how this may negatively effect the music industry as a whole. I wanted to draw attention to the many A.I covers of songs that may have decided to implement many aspects taken from actual artists work. Why would people use A.I to edit or make music. Well in a recent music video by KSI named “Thick of It”, most people decided that the song was actually terrible. One comment even said “Maybe if it had a different beat, different lyrics, different artist, and different melody, it would actually be a good song.” This comment actually got more likes than the video at the time, before the comment was put at the bottom of the comment section (possibly the content creator’s doing in order to not make the comment get any more likes)

The first A.I rewrite was one that I enjoyed reading a lot. It uses a lot of interesting terminology and is straight to the point. It also is very detailed and seems like a report that would really be similar to an actual report about A.I generated assets. The second A.I rewrite is also great as well. I did notice that it was very similar to my original message as well, but it changes words like recognition to popular. If I was given another week, I would add more sources and be more precise with my writing.

Version #1 My Own Thought 

AI in CUNY Education  

Society is advancing at a very fast rate that may have us afraid of how it will affect all aspects of our lives but don’t be frightened we will soon learn to love and adapt to it. With the introduction of AI in 2022, specifically ChatGPT, students have used it in a way that frustrated professors. This raised question of what can be done to help students use AI efficiently rather than be used as an easy getaway from assignments. CUNY is in its works to make AI our friend rather than our enemy for students and educators.

Version #2: ChatGPT #1

Rewrite this PSA to sound more professional to discuss how AI can benefit students:

The rapid pace of technological advancement can feel overwhelming, and it’s natural to wonder how these changes will impact various aspects of our lives. However, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) holds tremendous potential to enrich and support our daily activities—especially in education.

Since the introduction of tools like ChatGPT in 2022, students have begun using AI to enhance their academic work. While some educators have raised concerns about misuse, these tools present an exciting opportunity to redefine the learning experience when used effectively.

CUNY is actively developing resources to help students and educators integrate AI responsibly and productively, transforming AI into a valuable educational ally rather than a shortcut. By guiding students on how to use AI as a supportive tool for critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving, we aim to foster a learning environment that prepares them for a world where AI plays a central role.

Version 3: ChatGPT #2 

rewrite this PSA for people who worry that it will affect the learning of students negatively

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly integrated into our daily lives, it’s natural to question its impact on education and worry about how it might affect student learning. However, when used thoughtfully, AI can serve as a powerful tool to enhance, not hinder, students’ educational experiences.

Since the release of tools like ChatGPT in 2022, educators have expressed concerns about students relying on AI as a shortcut. These concerns are valid, and it’s essential that we address them. At CUNY, we’re committed to helping students use AI responsibly. Rather than replacing genuine learning, our goal is to integrate AI as a supportive tool that encourages critical thinking, creativity, and meaningful engagement with course materials.

By guiding students on how to leverage AI in a constructive way, we can ensure that it becomes a valuable educational resource. Together, we can shape an approach that prepares students for a world where AI will play a key role—without compromising the integrity of their education.

 

Comparison Essay:

While brainstorming on my PSA on AI and what it was going to be about, I was lost because there are endless amount of topics on AI and the controversy behind it. However, I wanted to write about something that resonated to me which was the introduction of AI in education. Since ChatGPT was released to the public in November 2022, I heard fellow classmates tell me that it helped them a lot with homework but regardless I was afraid to use it and get caught with plagiarism. I never used AI until this year where I have learned that when used the right way, it can be very educational rather than be used as a shortcut to complete homework. With my PSA I want to encourage students and educators who may think AI destroys critical thinking skills rather than enhance it. I also want to encourage students to use AI as a teaching tool rather than as a tool to do their assignment for them. I believe CUNY students combined with AI can create a powerful and brighter future for all of us.

My first chat with chattyT, was a little overwhelming. I asked ChattyT to rewrite my PSA to sound more professional to discuss how AI can benefit students. While it did its job, it feels more informative rather than trying to connect with the audience about this topic. I realized maybe it was the prompt I told ChattyT to do which was “rewrite this PSA to sound more professional to discuss how AI can benefit students”. I decided to request another prompt but this time I was specific on what I wanted. I asked, “rewrite this PSA for people who worry that it will affect the learning of students negatively”. I like ChattyT’s response better in this chat because it took into consideration everyone’s feelings and thoughts when it comes to AI in CUNY’s education.

While using ChatGPT, I was amazed how quick it created responses to any tasks I asked it to do, while on the other hand it takes me about 30 minutes to come up with a single paragraph until I am satisfied with it. It also uses many sophisticated words which almost makes me feel dumb for not coming up with the idea of using those words myself. However, because AI uses such intellectual words, it is the reason students are often caught cheating on their assignments. The purpose of my PSA is to make students aware that CUNY is now taking action to support our learning, to not feel intimidated by AI and to not abuse the power of AI.

2. KEY QUESTION

How can Students use AI as a tool for learning rather than a tool to cheat?

3. BODY TEXT: PSA

As society advances, we are seeing that AI is slowly being introduced in many aspects of our life which raises concerns of whether it is a good thing or not but don’t be frightened we will soon learn to love and adapt to it. It is natural to question its impact on education and worry about how it might affect students learning. However, when used thoughtfully, AI can serve as a powerful tool to enhance, not hinder, students’ educational experiences. With the introduction of AI, specifically ChatGPT in 2022, students have used it in a way that frustrated professors. Professor Jorge Alves states “Some students who aren’t committed to or don’t see the value in college education clearly feel enabled to offload thinking and doing work to AI.”  At CUNY, we’re committed to helping students use AI responsibly. In August 2024, The Lumina Foundation granted The City University of New York $200,000 to start the development of how AI can become an efficient teaching tool for all CUNY students. Together, we can shape an approach that prepares students for a world where AI will play a key role—without compromising the integrity of their education.

Comparison Essay:

When I first started my PSA, I aimed AI and nanobots to show people how both together can shape our future and advance our society. I started by showing societal benefits, like curing diseases and improving the environment, but I kept the language general and concise. I wanted to show how AI’s decision making power and nanobots’ microscopic precision, The message could have been more targeted. This led me to experiment with different targeted audiences using ChatGPT.

In my first version, I asked ChatGPT to rewrite the PSA to be addressed to doctors and engineers. The response I got from ChatGPT brought a more targeted tone and expanded on specific applications, such as “pioneering in the medical treatments” and “environmental sustainability.” These detailed examples made my PSA more relevant to professionals, who would be more familiar with technical applications. The phrasing “driving progress across fields” added an intense weight to the message and underscored the relevance of these technologies in different areas. Although I showed the specificity and technical appeal, it didn’t show the importance behind this.

In my third version, I asked ChatGPT to focus the PSA on engineering and medical students. This version when I read it felt more engaging for a younger audience such as me. It future future-oriented for the students like showing them the future such as “opening new frontiers” and “exciting opportunities to drive change.” It emphasized the potential of AI and nanobots and aligned with students’ inspiring them and how they can make an impact in these fields. I liked how it maintained a forward-looking tone but presented it in an inspiring way. Rather than as a fact. It also shows “cross-disciplinary progress,” which I felt would resonate with students’ interests in both engineering and medical applications. This process showed me how small adjustments in phrasing could greatly impact my PSA’s effectiveness.

Reflection Essay: My PSA Project on AI and Nanobots

My PSA project on AI and nanobots was a long experience filled with a lot of reading and chatgbt. Throughout this  four-week project, I encountered moments of confusion but I used ChatGPT to to help clarify thing I was confused with, but I managed and kept consistently working on it. My reflection essay explores my experience and process through this whole project, focusing on what I learned, the easiest and hardest aspects of the project, and how I would approach it better.

Through my project, I learned three important lessons. First, I realized how many digital tools I rely on, more than I initially thought. I used various devices, my phone, and my laptop. My laptop became essential for initial research and reading. I also utilized a range of software, from Google Docs. I found that ChatGPT requires careful prompting to align with my writing style. My initial expectation was that it would fit  my writing perfectly, but I soon noticed that its responses didn’t fully bring  my voice out.  After a many  adjustments, I found a version that worked for me, although it still didn’t feel entirely like my writing. Third, I learned that projects like this need a lot of organization and time management.

The easiest part of this project was getting started with brainstorming and drafting my PSA. I quickly settled on a topic AI and nanobots and saw my main message right away. Writing the first draft felt natural because I already had a sense of direction. Nanobots has always been on my mind when I was a kid so I wanna make it when I get  older. The hardest part, however, was working with ChatGPT. Even though I thought it was going to be easy. I soon learned that achieving the outcome I wanted required more detailed prompts. Crafting longer prompts led to better responses, which helped me put some emphasis on my PSA’s tone and content.

If I had another week, I would focus on the design element of my PSA. While my project focused on the message, I’d love to explore more visuals, especially using AI image generation tools. Adding a visually appealing element to my PSA could make it more impactful and engaging for the audience.

This project has only slightly changed my views on generative AI can be used, but it has opened my eyes to its potential and limitations. It should how much of a tool ChatGPT can be used instead of a weapon. Initially, I was hesitant about ChatGPT, feeling unsure if it could put out content that felt like mine. After spending time with it, I see it has more value as a tool that can support my work, though it still has a ways to go in capturing my personal voice. I recognize that ChatGPT can be useful with the right approach and clear intentions, but it’s important to remember what it can and can’t do. This project taught me to view AI as a partner to my own work rather than a replacement. Ultimately, the experience encouraged me to reflect on how on how I use theses tools fit into my learning process and helped me become more open to experimenting with new technologies.

Overall, this PSA project was a meaningful journey, revealing the importance of AI and nanobot applications in healthcare, engineering, and environmental sustainability. It also gave me a better understanding of AI’s role in my creative process. As I continue to learn more, I hope to further  my skills in using AI tools effectively instead of a weapon, enabling me to create impactful projects in the future.

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

The Three Versions of My PSA: 

Version 1: My own writing:

Title: AI development helps medical specialists provide better patient care

How can AI help doctors and nurses document patient information and decrease the patient decline rate?

There are great expectations as to how the development of Generative AI can help doctors in the future, nevertheless, at the moment it is mainly being used to facilitate day to day tasks such as patient documentation.  Taking notes of patient files by hand can take a doctor around 2 hours; but with the help of GAI, this task takes about 20 minutes. However, there has been a development recently called the deterioration model, and although it has not been perfected, it provides an immense amount of support towards patient care. This model uses the patient’s information to predict the future health status of the patient; then, it sends a notice about the prediction to doctors and nurses so that they can know which patients need more care. Although it is only able to accurately point out about 20% of the patients that will get worse, this model has helped decrease deterioration of patients by about 10.4%. I encourage nurses and doctors to integrate this model into their work as it’s already very useful, and there are great hopes that it will develop to great extents and help prevent patient’s conditions from worsening. 

   If nurses and doctors integrate the AI Deterioration Model into their work and GAI systems such as ChatGPT to organize patient data, then they will provide more accurate care to patients, and greatly benefit from faster data storage.

Audience: doctors and nurses

ChatGPT audience #1: Hospital administration (Hospitals)

Prompt: Rewrite the following public service announcement for hospital administration: (input my PSA)

**Public Service Announcement: Advancements in Generative AI for Patient Care**

As we look to the future, the potential of Generative AI (GAI) in supporting our healthcare professionals is promising. Currently, GAI primarily assists with routine tasks like patient documentation. For example, what once took doctors around two hours to complete manually can now be done in approximately 20 minutes with GAI, significantly enhancing efficiency.

A recent development, known as the deterioration model, is also making waves in patient care. While still being refined, this model leverages patient data to predict potential health declines, alerting doctors and nurses to those who may require closer attention. Although it currently identifies only about 20% of patients likely to deteriorate, it has already contributed to a 10.4% reduction in patient decline.

We strongly encourage all healthcare professionals to incorporate this model into their practices. Its current capabilities are already beneficial, and as it evolves, it holds great promise for preventing further health complications. Together, let’s embrace these innovations to enhance patient outcomes.

ChatGPT audience #2: Patients

Prompt: Now rewrite the PSA but for patients as an audience

**Public Service Announcement: Enhancements in Patient Care Through Generative AI**

We’re excited to share how advancements in Generative AI (GAI) are improving your healthcare experience. Right now, GAI is helping doctors streamline daily tasks, like taking notes on patient files, which used to take around two hours. With GAI, this process is now completed in about 20 minutes, allowing your healthcare providers to spend more time focusing on your care.

One promising development is the deterioration model, which uses your health information to predict future health changes. This model alerts your doctors and nurses when a patient may need extra attention. While it currently identifies about 20% of patients who might experience worsening conditions, it has already helped reduce patient decline by 10.4%.

We encourage you to engage with your healthcare team about these innovations. GAI is here to support better patient care now and, in the future, and together, we can work towards maintaining your health and well-being.

Comparison Essay:

As I started working on my PSA, the focus was on providing useful information as to how the development in the AI field could help nurses complete their tasks and provide better care to patients; However, when searching for information I became more interested in the topic of how the development of AI has become very helpful to the medical industry as a whole. Firstly, I focused on how Generative AI such as ChatGPT has helped healthcare workers, especially doctors, to reduce the time needed to document patient information from 1 hour to about 20 minutes. I wanted to bring this forward to doctors and nurses as an audience since I believe it will help them greatly since they are usually very busy. Secondly, I focused on a new development of AI Called the Deterioration Model which according to Armitage (2024) has helped decrease patient deterioration by about 10.4%. This model does so by looking at patient data such as vitals and alerting nurses and doctors of possible worsening conditions. I believe that along with doctors and nurses, this program will be greatly helpful to improve patient care, specially so if further development occurs. One thing I did worry about my PSA was that it seemed too straightforward and strictly professional so I worried that the audience would be disinterested.  Nevertheless, I decided to leave it as so since it is directed to medical workers. 

For the First Chat, I was directing the PSA towards hospital administration. In this chat, I really liked that the words were very fluid. For example, with my call to action. Instead of ending like my PSA, “and there are great hopes that it will develop to great extents and help prevent patient’s conditions from worsening.” The chat ended with, “Its current capabilities are already beneficial, and as it evolves, it holds great promise for preventing further health complications. Together, let’s embrace these innovations to enhance patient outcomes.” Which seems more welcoming and provides a more open and positive feeling. I will incorporate part of this ending into my final PSA.

As for the Second Chat, it was even more helpful because as it was directed towards patients. It helped me see what I was pondering (whether to make the PSA more professional or simpler).  I loved the Chat’s beginning, “We’re excited to share how advancements in Generative AI (GAI) are improving your healthcare experience.” Which seems more welcoming when compared with my PSA, “There are great expectations as to how the development of Generative AI can help doctors in the future,” which seems too straightforward and boring. It just doesn’t gather people’s attention as much as a positive beginning. I may or may not decide to incorporate the beginning of the second Chat into my final PSA and mix it with my own writing.

Week 4: Final PSA

Title:

AI development helps medical specialists provide better patient care

Key Question:

How can AI help doctor and nurses document patient information and decrease the patient decline rate?

PSA:

There are great expectations as to how the development of Generative AI can help doctors in the future, nevertheless, at the moment it is mainly being used to facilitate day to day tasks such as patient documentation.  Taking notes of patient files by hand can take a doctor around 2 hours; but with the help of GAI, this task takes about 20 minutes.

Call to Action:  

 If nurses and doctors integrate the AI Deterioration Model into their work and GAI systems such as ChatGPT to organize patient data, then they will provide more accurate care to patients, and greatly benefit from faster data storage. Additionally, AI is great at Diagnosis and Humans are great at diagnosis but together they can achieve almost perfect diagnosis. Just imagine the possibilities that can be achieved with this union!! So many people can be saved and cured faster!!

Reflection:

Although it was quite extensive, I found my PSA project to be easy to complete as long as I followed the steps provided by the professor. I did have a little difficulty when looking for information I wished to have but overall, it was a great project to work on. I work better on long study and work times, so I tried to complete a whole part at once, and since I know what works for me, it was easy to go along with the schedule. In this reflection I will thoroughly contemplate my experience with the project. Focusing on the things I learned, difficulties and simplicities of the project, the changes I would make if provided with more time, and how my thoughts on AI have transformed.

During the time I worked on my project I have learned a lot about how I work on projects. First, I am not able to focus and do a great job on my projects if I do it a little at a time; However, when I focus for a long time on finishing a whole part, it works out greatly. Second, I’m great at looking for sources on the internet and at curating said works. APA citations have become a second nature for me, and I get the information I wish for quite easily because I know how to work terms around. Third, I only use a few tools when working on projects. Especially for hardware since I only used my laptop and phone. As for Software, I used a few more, such as Google docs, WordPress (Open Lab), ChatGPT, and google search. Lastly, I learned that ChatGPT is quite helpful. I liked my own writing on the PSA, and I loved parts that ChatGPT added. As I switched the audience, the Chat made the PSA warmer and more positive which sounded a lot like me, so I was surprised. In my PSA, I didn’t sound like myself as much as I would have liked but combining it with parts of ChatGPT, it sounded so much like me. 

There were few difficulties and simplicities were many when working on this project. For difficulties, there were only 2: Finding one source with information I hoped was there and working with ChatGPT. I have never used any LLM AI before, so I was not very comfortable using it. Thankfully I watched a video by Kniberg which helped me with that. After a lot of trial and error, I came to realize that simple prompts work the best if they are specific. As for simplicities, everything else such as brainstorming and making the first draft was easy; I just needed to follow the steps well and everything ran smoothly. 

If I had another week, I would work harder on finding a source that provided more information on how the collaboration between humans and AI can increase the rate of correct diagnosis. Additionally, if we were moving forward to posting the PSA somewhere, I would focus on making an appealing design with well decorated borders or background where I would later input my PSA. 

Have my views on Generative AI changed as I obtained more in-depth information? Yes, for the most part it has changed drastically. In the past, I have considered using such AI software to be cheating academically. Especially if it is used to cheat on exams. However, through this PSA project, I have come to realize that GAI can also be used for good. Like writing your information and doing your research but asking AI to write it in different ways for a variety of audiences so now I may integrate AI when doing other works. Although, I do prefer trying to do everything by myself since it helps with the growth of my critical thinking and writing skills. Moreover, for other uses of AI, I have not yet decided on a thought. I do believe that by studying more about AI I can teach different conclusions to the one I have stated. But for now, I’ll stick to liking AI if it is used as a tool rather than a replacement. But disliking it because of the probability of it providing wrong information.
