Artificial Intelligence is advancing quickly, and the emergence of OpenAI’s controversial ChatGPT has caused some panic in the education world. How can students learn to write and think critically if software does it for them? This assignment will help us answer that question.Writing academically still requires that we adhere to a set of genre norms and standards that govern critical engagement, citation, and even simple formatting. No matter how fluent or correct sentences may be, they must meet the expectations of experts in the academic world. YOUR TASK: Write a three-part paper that evaluates, analyzes, then collaborates with ChatGPT to illustrate your understanding of the academic writing genre. The sections of your paper should be labeled with correct APA Style level headingsLinks to an external site.. PART I:—————————————– Section 1 Write an introduction paragraph IN YOUR OWN WORDS Using the Introductions & ConclusionsLinks to an external site. resource, write an introduction paragraph that contextualizes the issue of artificial intelligence affecting writing of all types, including academic. State your purpose in this assignment, and finish with a strong thesis statement that answers the following question: to what extent can AI truly help college students write? Section 2 Ask ChatGPT to write a 300-word academic response using ONE prompt from below. You should title this section “Artificial Intelligence Essay” to assure readers do not confuse your writing with AI’s. Be sure to reformat their writing according to APA 7th Edition standards. Prompt to copy/paste into AI: Please write a 300-word academic essay arguing why Shakespeare’s plays are still relevant today. Cite at least one of his plays. Please write a 300-word academic essay that selects one genre of music and argues why it is the most complex. Cite at least one notable artist of the genre. Please write a 300-word academic essay that discusses the benefits of writing by hand instead of typing. Cite at least one expert in psychology. (Note: If you do not have access to ChatGPT, contact me to do this through my account.) Once you have done this, copy and paste the AI essay into your document – re-format using proper APA Style (7th Edition), and set all AI-written text to red font. NOTE: When you copy-paste directly, it will add borders and other formatting oddities. Be sure you find a way to remove all of these to meet APA 7th needs. This is one of the ways you will illustrate your understanding of academic writing norms, including using the correct academic formatting for your work. PART II:———————————————– Using the resources from course readings and lecture, argue in a 500-word academic essay to what extent the AI composition is capable of helping college students write. In other words, is it acceptable to submit their work as-is? Can it help with idea generating? What major strengths can it help with? What areas need work? You may take any stance that you want, but the paragraphs in this section should match what you have stated in your thesis above. This section of your paper should include the following: At least three elements from lecture that you see reflected in the AI writing Quotes and citations from the ChatGPT composition as your evidence One final “complication” paragraph that concedes a weakness in your argument Format this section according to APA 7th standards. PART III:———————————————– Section 1: Select one paragraph from the paragraph you copy/pasted from AI, and REVISE IT to become more academic. Focus on the following: Make the topic sentence exhibit more flow and specificity than it currently does Regarding the evidence in this paragraph, either improve it by locating a better example or by paraphrasing what they included with more clarity (please cite any research you use) Expand the analysis and explanation of your quoted material to reflect the norms we discuss in class This paragraph should be a minimum of 150 words, including the evidence you select. Like the other two sections, please format it according to APA style. Section 2: Write a brief conclusion paragraph IN YOUR OWN WORDS. Using the Introductions & ConclusionsLinks to an external site. resource, write a conclusion paragraph that recaps what you ultimately argued in your piece. Re-state what you hoped to accomplish in this assignment, and finish with a look to the future. What steps might we have to take to assure AI helps us rather than replaces us?
