The Rise of Artificial Intelligence
As Halloween approaches, the discussion on campus has turned to the eerie presence of artificial intelligence (AI). Students and professors are concerned about the impact of AI on academic integrity and human creativity.
Most professors have imposed strict limits on AI usage in their syllabi, restricting it to sentence structure or grammar purposes. This rule aims to preserve human creativity in an era where computers are becoming increasingly skilled at imitation.
The "Spookiness" of AI
The unsettling nature of AI was recently highlighted when Martin Luther King Jr.'s estate intervened after AI-generated videos of King began circulating online. These videos were deemed disrespectful and distorted his legacy.
Sora 2, OpenAI's new video model, was forced to block users from generating videos of King after his family condemned the viral clips.
This incident has sparked concerns about the potential misuse of AI and its impact on our perception of historical figures and their legacies.
