Going to this class all of us shared what we want to learn about LLMs and one of the most common ones was to use it in our academics correctly and ethically, which I can surely said got covered in this class.
I personally use AI mainly for understanding readings better, it helps me with language barrier and translates for me more accurately and understandable than google translate. However when I started my first year at college I was very skeptical, I refused to use it and I did not have any trust in it, but I still gave it a shot after hearing that people can use it without becoming lazy unethical, cheating etc. and this class helped me learn about how to do that. Even though I would prefer not to use it on daily basis just because of global issues coming with AI, it is a useful tool to manage your schedules, workouts and plans, and since it is still improving it should become even better in the future. It is everyones personal choice what they want to choose, whether to use it or not, but going off from what we learned, I would predict that AI will get better and will be used more in upcoming future when people actually try and it gets more talked about.
Considering all of the ethics issues that we’ve already touched basis on I would hope those get fixed as an example discrimination as the Kevin situation, I can’t imagine AI being capable of choosing a candidates for a job properly and fairly, but everything improves slowly so I think the most important thing is to be open-minded. However as we’ve learned there are some things that LLMs cannot compare to a human as creativity, so for the future life I would’t be too scared about LLMs taking over those type of jobs. For me my prediction would be that I would be using AI more personally than professionally, as someone who is trying to get into psychology field I can’t imagine AI being used based on the lack of empathy and human understanding.
I can say that this class made me more open minded and educated on the use of LLMs.

As someone whose first language isn’t English, I can resonate with using it for a language barrier. Although LLMs weren’t prevalent when I was learning English, I can see how they would be a good tool now. Being more educated on the use of LLMs, though, is a good takeaway, definitely. They do for sure have convenient use cases
I also use AI to help me understand things that I read or to find deeper meanings behind texts.
