Scenario 1: Research Paper

You use AI to formulate a sharply worded thesis to get started. Throughout the process, you plan to ask AI to generate paragraphs based off of basic ideas you have, change them up a little, and implement them into your full paper.

You use AI to help you brainstorm topic ideas and find research points to back up your data. You also ask AI to find any errors and suggests any improvements to invite deeper thought.

Scenario 2: Internships

You ask AI to write a strong cover letter based off of your resume and the internship posting your found online. You briefly review the content and make some tweaks to show more of your personality. After words, you paste it in and submit the application.

You ask AI on some pointers of what makes a strong cover letter. Based off of the AI's response, you draft your own letter that fits your personality and goals. After words, you use AI to help refine certain sections and clarify your tone throughout the letter.

Let's move on.

Scenario 3: Networking

You use AI to research the employers and alumni that are attending to understand their backgrounds, values, and experiences. Then, you recall personal experiences that could be a connection point. You use AI to brainstorm other potential connection points.

You ask AI to make a list of information about the attending employers and alumni to find out their backgrounds. Based on that info, you ask the AI to create a script for you to memorize and follow later when you meet those people.

Let's move on.

Scenario 4: Studying

You use AI to generate break down difficult concepts and create custom flashcards based on your class notes. You double check that the flashcards match what you've written down in your notes.

You use an AI tool to generate summaries of each chapter and quiz questions without reviewing the actual class materials. You rely completely on the AI content, assuming it covers everything you'll need.

Your AI Journey Summary

1. You seem to be a bit reckless...

Studies show that a reliance on AI tools could lead to excessive cognitive offloading, directly affecting several cognitive functions such as memory, attention, and problem-solving.

Additionally, this could affect your own human autonomy – the ability to form original thoughts, to think for yourself. The overreliance on AI poses concerns with being easily manipulated or fed misinformation.

2. Consider using AI as a tool, not as an easy way out.

AI is a powerful tool that could be used to save time and complete tasks efficiently, but it should be used responsibly to promote productivity and new ideas. It should aid in your process by giving pointers, suggestions, room for improvement, but not replace your human judgement.

Remember, your future is in your hands. Make changes now to prevent significant damage to your cognitive abilities.
