The experts Lainie and Anderson canvassed worry that AI could nearly eliminate critical thinking, reading, decision-making abilities, and healthy in-person connectedness, leading to more mental health problems. Additionally, they fear the impact of mass unemployment on people\u2019s psyches and behaviors due to a loss of identity, structure, and purpose, warning that these factors, combined with a deepening of inequities, may prompt violence.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1050\" height=\"774\" src=\"https:\/\/writingcommons.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screen-Shot-2024-06-18-at-23835-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-65000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/writingcommons.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screen-Shot-2024-06-18-at-23835-PM.png 1050w, https:\/\/writingcommons.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screen-Shot-2024-06-18-at-23835-PM-800x590.png 800w, https:\/\/writingcommons.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screen-Shot-2024-06-18-at-23835-PM-400x295.png 400w, https:\/\/writingcommons.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screen-Shot-2024-06-18-at-23835-PM-768x566.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1050px) 100vw, 1050px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Writing_Prompt\"><\/span>Writing Prompt<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a two-part assignment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Experiment with a GAI tool and medium that is new to you. For example, you can experiment with Suno AI for creating songs, Adobe Express for creating videos, or Adobe Firefly for creating and manipulating images, or play with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elegantthemes.com\/blog\/business\/character-ai#what-is-character-ai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">CharacterAI<\/a> to talk with historical figures. Wash, rinse, repeat this exercise multiple times, at least investing three hours in this experiment. This hands-on experience is designed to help you critically evaluate the implications of using AI in artistic fields.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reflect on whether the AI tools they used enhanced or constrained their creativity and agency as communicators.<\/strong> Write a 400- to 500-word analysis of how these Generative AI (GAI) tools influenced your creative competencies.

What strategies did you use to reconfigure the texts or visuals generated by the AI tools? How did you decide what to keep, modify, or discard from the AI-generated content?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Benefits and Challenges:<\/strong> What were the benefits and challenges of using GAI tools compared to traditional solo creative work or human collaboration?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Unique Creations:<\/strong> Did you find that these tools enabled you to create something you otherwise couldn&#8217;t?
