I think that AI is becoming a part of everyone’s everyday life, and that being the case I think people should have a basic understanding of what it does and how it works.

Hi, my name is James Jiang (he/him), and I am from China. I am majoring in Business Economics. Outside the academics, I love playing golf, basketball, and tennis, watching funny videos(TikTok), and playing music. I decided to take this class because I would like to learn more about how AI, like ChatGPT and Deepseek, can assist my writing (like brainstorming and writing checking). Lastly, I look forward to cooperating with new classmates and Professor Hayward in the Writing AI class.

The development of AI has brought many conveniences to everyone. However, AI also has some potential drawbacks. For example, people will be lazy because AI can do everything for them. There are also some moral and legal problems, like copyright and plagiarism. So, as scholars, we need to consider the use of AI correctly.

Hi, my name is Quoc Do (he/him), from the class of 2026,  and I’m a Computer Science major. I enjoy playing games, cooking, going to the gym, and coding, especially when exploring AI applications. My Independent Study (IS) research is deeply related to AI, so I’m taking this class to strengthen my knowledge in this area. I’m looking forward to learning and collaborating with everyone!

AI is a big part of our lives today, helping with things like recommendations, virtual assistants, and automation. It makes tasks easier and improves decision-making in areas like healthcare and finance. However, as AI grows, we also need to think about important issues like privacy, bias, and job changes to make sure it’s used effectively.

Hello everyone, my full name is Nguyen Bao Lam Do but people usually call me Lam. I’m a senior at the College of Wooster and my major is Global Media & Digital Studies. I like basketball, both watching and playing. I also enjoy lifting and playing video games. I have a passion for K-pop and K-drama. I’m taking this class to answer questions I have about AI and learn how to use it more effectively.

In my opinion, AI plays an important role in our lives today because I am witnessing a world where people use it for many different purposes from studying to working. Furthermore, it can also be an entertainment tool for many people to talk or create a lot of content with pictures and videos.

I feel like this is a picture that could represent myself. I am a person who enjoys looking at the sky and taking pictures of it. I feel my lifestyle inside those pictures, always peaceful and passing slowly.

Hello, My name is William Hicks and I utilize the he/him pronouns. I am a sophomore here at the College of Wooster, class of 2027. I am majoring in Global Media and Digital Studies and minoring in Communications. Hobbies I have are lifting, playing football, playing video games, watching anime, playing basketball, going hiking and biking, and listening to music. The interests I have are learning and trying new things, cologne, and I love sports (especially debating them). I am taking this class as a TA to continue my education on AI while learning how it could affect the career I love, which is Journalism.

I love going to basketball and football games. This truly represents me. From 2015 to 2018, I went to every finals game here in Cleveland.

I believe the role that AI plays in our lives is the role of a helpful tool that can aid us or allow us to open our creativity. I believe AI can assist us in important things such as outlining, brainstorming, and coming up with ideas on subjects. AI can be a tool to make our everyday lives and careers a bit easier but also a bit more chaotic if it is not properly used ethically.

Hello, I use the She series. I am a Chemistry major, and my hobbies include bead-making, singing, and crocheting. I am very interested in cosmetic and skin-related content, as well as overall lifestyle and fashion topics. I am taking this class to see if it improves my dynamic with AI. Will I appreciate it more? Will I use it less? Will I be able to instruct it better or train it well?

I think AI plays a significant role in everyone’s life, whether they use it directly or not. For years, companies have been using AI to scan résumés during the job application process. So, in this case, you may not be actively using AI, but it is still directly affecting you.
