Along the WAIke of Cybernetics

Forbearance

delves into haywired realms of dilapidated abilities when brain fog opaques together with time trouble and illiteracy. So, fate leaves no more than one choice to those glued on a due date dilemma— being late in a task while forcefully urging the mind to function; or going footloose and fancy-free as the responsibility is passed down to the one which perpetuated intellectual soundness.

As time ticks in a louder thud 30 minutes before one task falls flatline, good thing the 22nd of November 2022 happened; a lifeline arose along the barony of Cybernetics, from the deadness of motivation— “ChatGPT”. And if its existence is perplexing enough, saying that the students even from Alabel National Science High School swallowed the biggest lump of using it is more.

‘ChatGPT’— the new shackle in writing formed with a chatbot-like approach for learning? A machine learning model conceived by OpenAI; a Generative Pre-trained Transformer AI consisting of supervised and reinforcement learning techniques.

Since the transformation, AI systems, like language models, have upgraded features to better interact with those who adapt to the system. ChatGPT inhibits a dialogue format which helps it effectively converse as it particularizes answers from given prompts. Attempts-by-attempts, the model feedbacks until the desired output is achieved.

The ‘one million in five days’, with its accessible interface, quickly elevated the aggregate users as piles and piles of workload continue to flourish day-by-day.

“I know how to make essays, even proficient, if assessed. But if time cuts my rope, I must climb using sharp rocks to clutch my height. I won’t dare fall the lowest when my grades shake”, a bold consistent honor student who ran out of choice but to wound hands, come what may. “But even so, I still know my boundaries. I won’t trust a half-baked assurance of a right answer. I trust my mind more”, continued she.

Ever since inception, ChatGPT helped millions of people– both students and teachers in the academic sector– surpass the lofty academic benchmark for written pieces. However, cautiousness must be observed when choosing to ruse with its tidal dangers. After all, an Al is the barge along the ever-drowning sea of desperation in academics, and beyond.

For this story, we asked Chat-GPT, a machine learning model conceived by OpenAI and a generative pre-trained transformer artificial intelligence moderl consisting of supervised and reinforcement learning techniques, to write an article about the “Impact of Social Media on the Information Landscape”. At the same time, we also asked a writer from The Scribblers to write a story about the same topic. For uniformity of the write-ups we gave Chat-GPT and the writer the same outline to write about. (1) How did social media revolutionize the social media landscape? (2) What are the challenges of using social media in information flow?

Your task as the reader is to discern which of the stories is written by AI and written by a person.

Social media has revolutionized the way we access and consume information, profoundly shaping the information landscape. With its global reach and real-time updates, social media platforms have become powerful tools for news dissemination, connecting individuals, and driving public discourse. However, this impact is not without challenges. The ease of sharing information on social media has led to the proliferation of misinformation and fake news, creating an environment where rumors can spread rapidly. Additionally, social media algorithms often create filter bubbles, reinforcing existing beliefs and limiting exposure to diverse perspectives. As we navigate this new era, it is crucial to critically evaluate information sources, promote media literacy, and strive for a balanced and inclusive information ecosystem.

The rise of social media has had a profound impact on the information landscape, transforming the way people consume and share news and other forms of content. While social media has made it easier to access information from a wider range of sources, it has also given rise to issues such as fake news, misinformation, and echo chambers. Social media algorithms can reinforce our existing beliefs and filter out opposing views, limiting our exposure to diverse perspectives. Additionally, social media platforms have been used to spread propaganda and political influence campaigns, posing a threat to the democratic process. As social media continues to shape our information landscape, it is important to remain critical and discerning consumers of information.

Regenerate response

Have you made a guess? Which of the do you think is written by AI and written by a human? The catch is: both of them are written by AI. This is the scary power of artificial intelligence. As machine learning and data science becomes more complex as time progresses, AI becomes more advanced.

If the outputs of text-based AI models look more human-like this poses a threat to various community sectors. Especially in education, the reliance in AI leads to cases of academic dishonesty and the threatens the integrity of the academe. While this is the case, it would be best to keep tabs on the trends of AI and practice how to distinguish AI-generated materials. And although AI may be helpful as an assistant, the power remains to the users and how they utilize the tool.
