Hi Yixian, thanks for sharing your post,
First off, your use of ChatGPT and Grammarly sounds pretty spot on. It’s cool how ChatGPT simplifies things like APA citations – way easier than sifting through Google, right? And Grammarly as a grammar checker, especially for non-native speakers, seems super useful. But yeah, like you said, always good to double-check what these AI spit out.
About the accuracy of these tools, I totally get your point. ChatGPT can be a bit hit or miss with math problems or finding academic sources. It’s kind of a reminder that these tools aren’t perfect and we still need to use our judgement.
Your take on how AI can make learning more inclusive was interesting, especially with the personalization and accessibility features. The 24/7 availability is a big plus, but you’re right about the limitations – not everyone has access to this tech, and it might not be elderly-friendly. Plus, the issue of everyone ending up with the same AI-generated answers is something I hadn’t thought about.
Your comparison between QuillBot and ChatGPT was insightful. It’s a good heads-up that while QuillBot’s great for paraphrasing, ChatGPT tends to lean towards summarizing. It’s a useful tip for when we’re deciding which tool to use for what purpose.
Overall, I agree with your conclusion. These AI tools should definitely be used as complementary aids. Relying on them entirely might not be the best approach. We’ve got to strike that balance between using these tools to assist us and doing some of the heavy lifting ourselves.
