In What Ways Does AI Have Potential to Aid a Writer and Cause Trouble?

Consider a world where authors can type perfect, error-free, and stylistically superior prose in minutes. AI has advanced in almost all fields, and writing is no exception. With the help of AI tools such as GPT-4, improving the language has also become straightforward and efficient. Incorporating AI ( Needs a transitional sentence.) in writing processes has elicited significant controversy concerning the advantages and disadvantages of the technology. Thus, on the one hand, AI can be highly beneficial for writers by helping them improve their productivity by eliminating time-consuming tasks and offering immediate feedback; on the other hand, it is somewhat problematic as it discourages creativity, uniqueness, and critical analysis. Hence, the appreciation of the advantages and disadvantages of AI in writing demands proper analysis and consideration.( You do not need to tell us that it will be analyzed. Instead, try to find a term to summarize the advantages and disadvantages )

AI can significantly improve the writing process by automating specific tasks and offering real-time feedback. The application of AI in the writing process can substantially contribute to the increase in productivity as it automates routine operations and gives immediate responses. With tools such as GPT-3 and GPT-4, the writing process can be accelerated, punctuation and grammar errors can be detected and eliminated on the go, and the overall writing process management is made much more accessible.( But how? Looking in your sources for a description of what is done and how it saves time) At the same time, the writer is only tasked with the creative nuance of the writing process. In their paper, Li et al. (2) ( Put at the end of the material.)

expounds on the benefits of AI, stating that it can enhance writing proficiency by decreasing the time required to perform routine writing activities. Likewise, Echols argues for increased AI productivity in education; AI can take more time on procedural tasks and leave more time for reflection. Moreover, AI may improve the learning process and write more quickly, owing to its ability to analyze and provide recommendations on various writing styles and contexts. Information technology also interferes with tasks like formatting or citation, thus making the writer's work more accessible and efficient.( This is all repeating the first part—it does simple tasks quickly to leave time for others.)

AI tools can enhance ( This is hard to follow and gets repetitive.

Part of this—that it removes errors—was in the last paragraph. You need to go into how that works in the previous paragraph.

You can then use that as a transition. Not only does it reduce errors, it can aid with style. Then, you need to go into how it does that.) the quality of writing in the language, making it more polished and professional. These systems can improve grammar, vocabulary, and quality of the language behind the text to keep it professional and easily understood. Chen et al. (2014) explain that AI can enhance the learning of presentation skills, which can be extended to writing. It should be noted that using AI, the writer immediately gets suggestions and corrections so that the text is written with minimal errors and is of high quality. Furthermore, it is essential to consider that AI tools can provide suggestions on style, including readability, simplicity, and organization, which are vital when communicating. Li et al. (11) also report that grammar errors are minimized when AI is used, thus leading to improved quality papers. This is because AI can learn from large data sets, provide the best vocabulary suggestions based on the given context, and write pieces that are not only grammatically correct but also lively and diverse. ( This with more detail with source credit is what you need in the previous paragraph.)

AI tools can be (You have sources say it leads to a lack of critical thinking. What need to know is how or why) counterproductive when developing critical thinking skills in writers. Automating human writing can antagonistically affect the formation of crucial thinking among professional and aspiring writers. They may become overly reliant on AI-drafted content, detrimental to developing comprehensive and analytical thinking skills. Smith and Funk also point out that AI cannot process thinking and the context of the issue, which is essential in developing critical thinking abilities. As Sîrghi et al. (56) and Wiseman mention, students are concerned about ethical issues and the loss of critical thinking due to using AI in writing, which requires human intervention to develop these essential skills. Additionally, Echols argues that education should include the components of AI literacy to teach students how to question the results of AI rather than taking them as true truths. The lack of such a critical approach may lead to the writers failing to foster the thinking skills needed to query and sharpen important ideas when producing profound work.

There are some (Needs transition) concerns about originality and plagiarism since AI can generate ( This paragraph lists a number of concerns. You do not want to do all of them. Instead, I would focus on the lack of quality that comes from AI. How or why does using templates leads to a lack of quality? How or why does it get repetitive and how or why does that lead to a lack of quality?) coherent texts. AI’s capacity for generating coherent text raises issues that revolve around the aspect of authorship, as AI may, at times, accidentally create a case of plagiarism or replicate existing work, which erases the individuality of the writer’s voice. Smith and Funk concluded that AI does not possess critical thinking; thus, its Essays are repetitive and do not introduce novel ideas. Similarly, Li et al. (12) report that AI-generated writing may sacrifice creativity while stressing the need to preserve the author’s voice. Moreover, AI creates material with the help of templates and previous data, leading to the artificial use of texts directly from sources without attribution. This not only brings ethical issues into question but also questions the principles of academic honesty. This means that the work produced through collaboration with AI may also lack variety in ideas, which is crucial for creating high-quality content.

To conclude, it is essential to explore the pros and cons of AI in writing and apply ethical principles while doing so. Notably, many questions are still related to moral issues of applying artificial intelligence in writing. Several concerns will arise with the use of AI, such as the case of plagiarism, the use of AI being concealed from the general public, and the need for human intervention. Darby Flower emphasizes the importance of AI principles in education and mentions that they require guidelines and trigger accountability for AI. In writing, Echols identifies the need to teach users the ethical consumption of Artificial Intelligence by enhancing AI literacy. Moreover, in their view, there are potential issues with intellectual property rights and the deterioration of academic honesty when misusing AI. Teachers and educational facilities must promote proper ethical standards and training for AI so that the latter would not undermine the principles of academic integrity and uniqueness of the written work. AI will thus be a powerful tool that can benefit writers when its positive impacts are embraced and its adverse effects managed or prevented to ensure that writers continue to unleash their creativity in their writings.

A very strong foundation. Paragraphs are the big issues. They need to be connected with transitions. They also all often get repetitive and they lack the detail your audience is looking for. In the end, the content is a source saying a cause leads to an effect, something your reader already knows. Below is some advice with the cause and effect you need to develop.

For cause and effect—how does a the AI do something—you need to walk us through the process. What all is going on? What info must we have to understand it? All this comes from your source.

For cause and effect—why does AI lead to an outcome—you have to make sure to give us all info that points to it. A study saying so is not enough; that is correlation and not why the cause leads to the effect. Instead, give us a summary of what was done in the study. Provide us information that shows the conclusion (that the cause leads to the effect); this will include results (data and observational info from the study) and any theories or concepts that are used to analyze the information.

What issues does AI pose for writers, especially college students? What causes them to occur and why are they a problem? a. The issues must be a closely related group that differs from other groups of issues. These are all possible issues, not just those with writing. b. For example, the group could be about mistakes within content, with one point being hallucinations. 5. What help can AI provide writers, especially college students? What good does it do and how does it provide assistance? a. Each way it helps must be a closely related group different from other groups. The assistance can be any helpful action, not just writing. b. For example, the group could be about useful study tools, with one idea being its ability to summarize reports and scholarly articles.

Objectives Write a 3-4 page informative paper that informs the audience about AI usage (using one of the prompts above). o The paper must have a focus; the points covered must be small unique group withing the larger topic. o It does not take a stand but instead informs the audience. The paper must provide complete info. This will include describing what Ai does and how it works, as well as any related reasons why. Presents a useful introduction and conclusion. o Start with an engaging introduction that hooks the reader, prepares them for the paper, and states a thesis. o Ends with a conclusion that goes beyond a summary of the paper, connecting points into a group and providing importance and connection to the audience. Provides a thoughtful and clear thesis that sets forth the student’s specific examination of AI. Provides an easy-to-follow body. o Paragraphs all work as a close united group. o Paragraphs move smoothly from one to another. Provides focused and manageable body paragraphs. o Paragraphs will likely be a single aspect of the game or step in the game and how or why it helps to achieve the desired goal. o All paragraphs start with a clear, specific topic sentence. o Each paragraph has clear coherence with each sentence moving smoothly from beginning to end. Collect and synthesize expert information from at least four quality sources. o One source must come from the list of sources students annotated. o One source must be a provide report or study. o One source must come from any provided sources not already used. o One source must be acquired by the student. The source must provide useful info to the audience. It is not vague or only provides commonly known info. o Students may use additional provided sources, but may only use one of their own (unless proposed and allowed by the professor). Present specific information in every body paragraph. o The writer must make it clear what the idea is (describing it) and look at how (and in some cases, why). This must come from sources. Explain the experts’ views so the audience can understand what is going on. Explain connections between points. Properly integrate all material from sources. Have correct MLA citations for source material with a correct Works Cited page. Make sure the paper is in correct MLA format. Use Standard American English appropriate to an audience of collegiate peers and faculty.

Directions Find a prompt. o Look through the prompt list and see what prompts the annotated text can help to answer. o Use the focused prompt list and see what provided reports and studies goes with the prompts. o Choose a single prompt from the list that includes the reports. Gather research: Find additional sources, at least one provided and only one from personal research) to help with the topic. Synthesize and organize. o Go through the sources and find possible points you can cover. Make sure that these are specific, narrowed points and not large types. o Choose a closely related group of points. Make sure there is something that connects it beyond the larger topic. If you can define the group in a sentence without any listing, you likely have a related group. o Decide the most logical order for the points. Consider how they relate to one another or even cause and effect. Develop your draft. Use your sources to provide the needed information that illustrates the focused idea of your paper.
