MY JOURNEY WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)

As we all know, in this modern age, our technologies has developing rapidly including the developing of Artificial Intelligence. Have you guys ever heard about Artificial Intelligence? or maybe AI? In a simple term, AI is a set of technologies that enable machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. This progress has benefited various sectors and education sector is no exception. In education, AI tools are increasingly being used to enhance the learning experience. AI-based applications for higher education have been growing rapidly across the world and have affected higher education institutions in Latin America, where AI research is being carried out and some AI applications are being implemented to improve university services, help teachers to offer quality education, and support student learning. (Salas-Pilco, S. Z., & Yang, Y., 2022).

Over the past few months, I've had the chance to work with various types of AI tools which I've never heard before, and it's been a mix of excitement and also frustration. I've found lots of AI tools such as ChatGPT, Copilot, Turnitin and Gemini. AI tools have made my academic journey more easier where those tools help in improving my academic perfomance. However, I had also faced few challenges every time I used those AI tools. So, in this entry, I'm going to share my experience throughout my journey in using AI tools.

First and foremost, using AI platform like ChatGPT and Copilot offers me an interactive learning experiences that helps me grasp complex concept more easily. These platforms provide me instant feedback, making my learning more engaging where they allow me to ask questions, explore different perspectives and give explanations that match my understanding. Other than that, AI platform like Turnitin provide originality checking service to prevent plagiarism. It is really helpful as I only have to submit my work and Turnitin will compare it to its database of student work, websites, books and articles. Turnitin then will generates an originality report that show how much of my work matches other sources. Lastly, I oftenly use AI tools to generates idea for my work everytime I feel stuck or unsure about how to continue my assignment. It really helps me as it sparks my creativity when I’m feeling blocked. Having this instans help allows me to keep making progres and enhance the overall quality of my assingment.

However, despites the many advantages, I also faced few challenges when using AI in my academic work. One of them is, the risk of over-relying on AI for ideas or solutions. This things made me feel worry as it will limiting my ability to use my own creativity and critical thinking. In order to overcome this, I will set a clear boundaries for AI use. For example, I only use AI to brainstorming my ideas and only turn to AI when I’m truly stuck. Next, the potential for receive false and inaccurate information from AI’ responses. To avoid this, I will make sure to double-check everything in my work to ensure that all sources are properly cited and referenced.

In a nutshell, while the development of AI have undoubtedly enhanced my academic experience, they also come with setbacks that require careful management, Hence, I need to set boundaries on how and when to use AI, ensuring I remain actively involved in the creative and critical thinking process. As AI continues to evolve, I’m excited to explore how it can further support my academic journey. 

I think we have reach the end. Feel free to leave comment here and I will reply as soon as I finish my works. Thanks for reading everyone !
