Match a disruptive technology from the first column with an industry from the second at the bottom of this page. In one paragraph, explain specific ways that technology could transform how things are done in that industry. In the next paragraph, explain who will benefit and who will suffer due to this disruption. In the third, imagine the effects on society if the old way of doing things completely disappears. What will be gained, and what will be lost? You must cite evidence or quotes from at least three non-Wikipedia sources. ❌🤖 You may not use an AI tool for this assignment. ❌🤖 You may not choose AI as the disruptive technology for this assignment. Submit your essay in these

For this task you will use generative AI to re-create the assignment in Task 1, namely examining the effect of a disruptive technology on a particular industry. Instead of the list of choices of disruptive technologies, you must pick Generative AI as the disruptive technology to write about with an industry from the second list (or another of your choice). Using the AI custom interface designed for this course and the prompt advice explained in class, ask ChatGPT to repeat the previous assignment, repeated below. Draft with AI assistance using the class AI: Click the + next to your group (NMD 100) Choose New Document Type @ai in the chat and choose your model Type a series prompts (“Write a 3-paragraph

Choose an image manipulation tool such as Adobe Express, Photoshop, the GIMP, or Photopea. By drawing on existing images or your own creations or photographs, create fake visual evidence to support a theory or event that is clearly false by following these steps: Visit Wikipedia’s list of hoaxes. Choose a hoax to illustrate; you may search the Internet for sources to learn more about the context for this hoax, or choose another hoax for which you can find solid documentation online. Using non-AI image manipulation tool(s) like Adobe Express, Photoshop, or the GIMP, create an original or composite image that illustrates the hoax as if it were a real event, place, person, or phenomenon. In other words, furnish “evidence” that

Introduction Like how communicating with AI for the purpose of programming, communicating with AI image generation involves a different way of speaking and refining. There are a multitude of tools available online with different options to change that often lead to very different quality of results. It will be your goal to find a good tool that you can use to emulate what you’ve previously done for Task 4 and try to utilize it to your advantage. Process Choose the same hoax you picked for Task 4 (eg, from Wikipedia’s list of hoaxes). Using an AI image manipulation tool(s) like Leonardo.ai create an original image that illustrates the hoax as if it were a real event, place, person, or phenomenon.

Introduction Communicating with AI is one of the most frequent challenges you will run into during your journey of getting the tool to be helpful. In this exercise you’ll practice providing small incremental change prompts to reach a result that you want, rather than a single large complex prompt. Process Think of what sort of avatar or icon you want to use to represent you that you feel can be made with simple shapes. (Do not use any of the Pacman examples shown in class.) Identify individual parts of the avatar and think about how you would describe their properties (shape, location, color) in words. Pick a part as a starting point. Using our class’ custom interface, ask ChatGPT to

For this task, you will imagine a scene or plot that breaks a storytelling cliché, then make a storyboard that illustrates it. Background Clichés—stereotypical characters, events, or plot devices—are the bane of storytellers and listeners alike. Their familiarity often masks how unlikely they would be in reality (“OMG the enemies became lovers!”), but they are often crutches that let writers be lazy rather than challenge expectations. This is your chance to capture the player, viewer, or reader’s attention by breaking a cliché. The task is similar to the story cliché exercise, except that you’ll make your own, original story. your storyboard will break the stereotype by revising the original story or inventing a new character, plot, or setting to take

As with Task 8, you will imagine a scene or plot that breaks a storytelling cliché, then make a storyboard that illustrates it. Like the other AI tasks you’ll use AI to get some input or content, but you’ll also be graded on how you analyze and critique the output of the AI. Background In programming Task 7, you spent time incrementally prodding the AI to get to a desired game avatar. It can be hard to see the results of incremental prompting as clearly when asking for a storyboard, but this assignments asks to prompt AI repeatedly to improve your storyboard idea, text, and images. You’ll also need to use both text and image generators. 🤖✅ You must use

In today’s media-saturated environment, listening can be a lost art. This exercise will familiarize you with some basic digital audio editing, but also require you to step outside your routine to pay attention to the world around you. Find a place, ideally outdoors, where you can stand or sit away from screens and other distractions. Using your phone’s Voice Memo app or another audio capture device, record 5 minutes of ambient sound. You must not check your phone, talk to others, or do anything but listen during this uninterrupted period. (Five minutes may not seem like a long time, but if you’re used to multitasking it can seem like an eternity!) Transfer the recording from your phone to your computer.
