Students and faculty are increasingly relying on AI.
“It can be useful, but it does not need to replace the thinking and composing process,” Mrs. Amanda Riley, English teacher, said, “It should not be used for writing. AI simplifies things too easily for people, and they start being too dependent on technology. I use AI myself in myclassroom to formulate project ideas and for grading, while allowing my students to use it when they need to generate ideas, but not as a source for thinking.”
“I don’t enjoy using AI, but it’s the easiest option,” Alex Swanson, senior, said. “I think that using AI is the fastest and easiest option in situations instead of using my own skills. I don’t depend on using AI for all my situations; I choose to use it to make my life easier,” Swanson said.
Some feel that their intellect is better than basic AI.
“I don’t use AI because I’m smart; I don’t need it,” Aileen Gonzalez, a freshman, said. “I get so aggravated when people use AI on school work that I actually take my time to do. I think when people become dependent on AI as a source of socializing and problem-solving, they become lazy and start to lose the ability to socialize.”
“AI has a purpose sometimes with day-to-day tasks, but it gives you a lot of false information,” Cameron Polk, senior, said.
“I use AI when Google doesn’t give me the right answer,” Jackson Perschino, freshmen, said. “When people use AI in school and become dependent on AI, it makes them look stupid, and they lose their brain cells,” Perschino said.
“Seeing is believing, so I feel like everybody believes what they see,” Annette Rowles, administrative assistant, said. “So it’s causing a lot of old people like myself to believe in false information.”
