Fourteen-year-old Freya priorly wrote her essays and homework very efficiently and in a timely-manner. Now, platforms known as Chat GPT and Google Gemini can change and entitle these assignments in a matter of seconds. The real question is, is this outlet taking away the education of students today?
By automating routine tasks, A.I can withhold numerous benefits. In a survey given to the students of Carmel Middle School, many have exemplified and sustained beneficial uses of A.I. 55% of the population of all 8th and 6th grade students have responded to the question Do You use A.I? If so, how do you use it? By clarifying that most use these platforms to further “explain concepts learned at school.”
This highlights the positive aspects of Artificial Intelligence, by reassuring most students' learning abilities and active associations towards their school work and work load. This outlet can as well benefit many, by increasing their understanding from another somewhat-trustworthy source. Though, beyond the hype of this world-wide window of benefits, disadvantages have also been further elaborated. Staff member Erika Grant from your current community of Carmel Middle School, is concerned that, “[Nobody wants a] surgeon who is about to operate on an organ to have used AI to simplify their way through med school.” To put it simply, nobody knows how long Artificial Intelligence will reign over our society. Though, one thing is for sure, educational success will drastically shift no matter what we use A.I for, which could very well create dramatic negativity towards personal and technological evolution.
In a critical response, many have personally voiced that not only has this issue caused verbal stirs and publication, but also caused physical affections to students and their everyday life. You may be wondering, “So what? Why is it so important that this is discussed? Why do we, as a community, take these intelligences to heart?” In incitement, the political world as we know it cannot prevent, nor establish certain issues unless conversated upon. Not only can these decisions affect this society completely, in the political field, but even affect something as simple as teenagers questioning what to order from their local Starbucks. Think about it this way, imagine going to your local coffee shop. Now, on one hand, you have your regular refresher that you feel very passionate about. Though, on the other hand, there’s a new drink your friend is RAVING for you to try. This dense decision is just like political debates, only simpler!

In all, Artificial Intelligence platforms like Chat GPT, Google Gemini, and Gauth have many personal points of view. The positive and negative effects only fully rely on who is sharing what. Whether concerns like its negative affect on students personal success and independence, or optimism towards second-hand opinions and sources to further bring students observations. As a community, all we can fully understand is that these platforms have changed the way of humanity and how the current day-to-day world is seen.
