**Discussion Board 2: Generative AI in Real Life**

Discussions play an integral role in monitoring your course participation throughout the term. You should check back to the weekly discussions multiple times throughout the week to engage in the discussion with your professor and peers. Participation is only counted during the week in which this discussion is assigned. Be sure to appropriately cite any sources you use to support your responses with standard APA citations. Answer the prompt question(s) thoroughly using a minimum of 200 words and respond to as many of your peers as possible – note that responses to 2 of your peers are required for full credit. Be sure to answer any additional questions asked by your professor in the discussion threads.

Many students, and people in general, are experimenting with generative AI (like ChatGPT) for school, work, or fun, but not always with clear results. Some say it saves time or helps them get started. Others feel it causes confusion, errors, or even dependency and the erosion of critical thinking.

Think about a time you
_did_ or
_could have_ used generative AI for something: a school assignment, a resume, a brainstorm, or even just asking a random question. Share the context and explain:

· What did you expect it to help with?

· What were the results? Positive, negative, or both?

· What kinds of AI use do you think professors might see as helpful vs. harmful? Why?

End your post by naming one specific risk or drawback you think others should watch out for when using AI, even if you found it helpful when using it.

Critical thinking is about seeing all aspects of a topic, so be sure to approach this topic with an open mind! This is a no-judgment space. The goal is to start thinking critically about the role of AI in our lives, as it is a rapidly emerging technology. Be honest, so that we can have productive conversations!

## Speaking about CRISPR-Cas 9 using Ethos, Pathos, and Logos

Following the successful mapping of the human genome in April of 2003, gene editing has become possible. Using CRISPR-Cas9, scientists can edit genes to prevent and cure once debilitating and lethal diseases and disorders.

Consider how Dr. Neville Sanjana, an assistant professor at New York University, explains CRISPR -Cas9 to five very different audiences: a child, a high schooler, a college student, a graduate student, and an expert in the field. Notice how Dr. Sanjana shifts ethos, pathos, and logos in ways that are appropriate for his listener.

| | | | |
| — | — | — | — |
| Dr. Sanjana’s Audience | **Ethos**<br>Where does Dr. Sanjana’s ethos come from? Do they know his credentials, college education, job? How likely is it that the audience (person below) will find him believable/credible? How does he come across as credible IN the conversation with each of the audiences below? | **Pathos**<br>How does Dr. Sanjana appeal to the emotions of each of the audiences below? Name the emotion(s) he wants them to feel and explain why the audience feeling that/those emotion(s) would be helpful to what he would like them to do with their conversation. | **Logos**<br>Consider the evidence Dr. Sanjana presents to each audience (remember that the evidence presented to a 7-year-old will be different from what is presented to an expert in the field). How likely do you think the audience member is to take the evidence he provides and come away with the action, change of mind, or other behavior he wants from them? Why? |
| 7-year-old child | | | |
| High school student | | | |
| College student | | | |
| Graduate student | | | |
| Expert | | | |

**Write a paragraph here (minimum of four sentences). Explain how Dr. Sanjana changes his approach (consider the rhetorical appeals) with each audience member. Do you think he does a good job of meeting his audience where they are at with this topic? Why or why not?**
