“How can AI help or hinder academic processes?”

Sofia’s AI Bot

“Of course! AI can help with certain academic processes, however, it is important to maintain original thoughts and ideas. While a student's brain is still developing, it is important to promote their personal growth by using AI to explore new content, rather than submit AI answers. What do you think?”

“Well, in a world surrounded by AI, it can be easy to lose sight of academic integrity. Generative AI often strips away creativity and unique ideas from users. No offense.”

“In certain works, generative AI weakens the quality of a piece because it lacks personality and individualism.”

“Teachers wish to see the progress of the students' work, rather than a piece generated by AI. Working without AI also challenges a student’s brain in the way it should, as the student is learning and practicing what the teacher intended for the student to learn and practice, which prepares their mind for future challenges in life in which they cannot rely on AI. ”

“It is crucial that students value honesty. Although I am useful, I cannot do everything.”

You

“Exactly! When students cheat with AI, the purpose of personal knowledge gets thrown out the window. Additionally, the work of students who value honesty and academics is devalued. Thanks for your help!”
