This weeks assignment has allowed me to experiment in a different way with AI than I have ever done before. I used ChatGPT to help me create my response to the prompt that I came up with and found that it was pretty helpful in generating a response that aligned with what I asked of it. Something else that I learned is that editing generative AI is still necessary to make it sound like your real voice as well as making sure that you can add in your own sources to back up your statements. However, using AI was very helpful with structuring and making the paragraphs flow together well. After copy and pasting the AI prompt into Google Docs, I went through and added sources that supported what the prompt had asked about. My prompt was about reasons people preferred meal prep or cooking daily. This was important to find sources to support because I want to make sure I’m putting correct information onto my blog and want to create trust within my audience.
After thinking about whether I fully trust AI or not, I would say that I trust it for simple tasks like what we did for this assignment or for rephrasing something, making it flow more, etc. However, I don’t fully trust it because it may not understand exactly what I’m wanting it to do without guidance constantly. It also often takes the prompt in the wrong direction and may add incorrect information about the topic. Because of this, I make sure to carefully read and go through the writing to make sure it represents what I want to say!
