WIlliam Hicks Introduction

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.

Ama Asante

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.

I think the role AI is playing in our lives at the moment is very chaotic. It is not regulated and is not confined. However there are great developments being made which show that there are so many opportunities.

Welcome

We are really excited to explore generative AI with you this semester. On this site, you’ll post your ideas, reactions, and assignments, so that we can all learn from each others’ experiments with AI. Looking forward to seeing what you all come up with!
