Name: Mila Searles

Task 1:
1a. Career selected: Journalism

1b. Bing Copilot Exchange: (answers are in bold via copilot)

1. What is journalism in simple terms? Journalism is all about gathering, assessing,

creating, and presenting news and information to the public. Think of it as storytelling
with a purpose—keeping people informed about what's happening in the world
around them. Journalists investigate events, interview people, and report on various
topics like politics, sports, entertainment, and more. Their goal is to provide accurate
and unbiased information so that people can make informed decisions.

2. What are the requirements to become a journalist?

• Education: A bachelor's degree in journalism, communications, or a related
field.
• Writing Skills: Strong writing and storytelling abilities.
• Research Skills: Ability to conduct thorough research and verify facts.
• Communication Skills: Good verbal communication skills for interviewing
and presenting information.
• Ethics: Understanding and adhering to journalistic ethics and standards.
• Experience: Internships, freelance work, or working for school newspapers to
build a portfolio.
• Technical Skills: Familiarity with digital tools, social media, and multimedia
content creation.

3. What is the average salary of a journalist? The average salary for a journalist in the
United States is around $48,867 per year. However, this can vary widely based on
factors like location, experience, and the type of media outlet. For example,
journalists in New York City tend to earn higher salaries, with an average of $92,744
per year1. On the other hand, journalists in smaller markets or less populated areas
might earn less.

4. Is journalism a popular career field? Journalism is still a popular career choice, but it's
changing a lot. Many people are interested in it, especially with the rise of digital
media. There are different paths you can take, like working for newspapers, TV, or
online platforms. However, the field faces challenges like job cuts and the spread of
fake news. Despite these issues, many people are passionate about becoming
journalists and telling important stories.

5. Is the journalism field dying? Journalism is facing tough times. Many traditional news
outlets are struggling, and jobs are being cut. However, people still consume news,
especially online. So, while the industry is changing, it's not completely dying.
1c. What did you learn about careers? Are you more or less interested in pursuing it? From my
copilot research, I learned that journalism is a field that is popular and at risk due to to rise
of different media branches such as online activity. However, this has not deterred me from
wanting to pursue a career.

1d. Ethical considerations: When using Ai to research this field, it is an ironic way to learn.
Journalism is a field about getting facts from reliable sources to convey a story or
announcement to the public without bias. When I used copilot to do this task, I ended up
getting information from a bot rather than an actual source itself. Although copilot said it
was taking sources from websites like forbes.com, I can’t verify this for sure due to copilot
making its wording not at all like what Forbes was writing.

Task 2:
2a. What did you ask Bing Copilot? I asked Bing copilot to write me a poem about flowers.

2b. Bing Copilot Exchange:

• Write me a poem about flowers:

In gardens where the sunlight beams, A tapestry of vibrant dreams, Petals soft in hues
so bright, A symphony of pure delight.

Roses blush with crimson grace, Lilies bloom in tender space, Daisies dance in fields
so wide, Tulips stand in regal pride.

Whispers of the morning dew, kiss each blossom, fresh and new, Nature's art in every
bloom, Dispels the shadows, lifts the gloom.

In every petal, life unfolds, A story in each bud it holds, Flowers speak in colors bold,
A tale of beauty, gently told

2c. What do you think of the results? The poem is straightforward, but considering I asked the
prompt to write a poem on flowers, it was able to do the task.

2d. Ethical considerations? Using Ai to write a poem might be fun for just yourself, but when
it comes to ai use in writing such as competitions or essays, it might not be wise to use it no
matter how quick Ai can complete said tasks.

Task 3:
3a. Original: This was a scholarship essay writing about an experience I had in a journal like
format.

Day 1:
Here we go again.
How much more is this rumor mill going to persist? I’m not normally one to beg, but
this is starting to get out of hand, very much out of hand. This was the third rumor today.
Something about bribery? Oh yes. Bribery. The thing that one is known to do to get their
way. And me. It has all to do with me. Of course it does. Doesn’t it? All the worst rumors
have something to do with me. Manipulation, ruined romance, and now bribery? What has
this school come to believe such lies? Such treason? Such fallacies? You would think their
conscious would scream for them to use it, would scream that a person such as myself isn’t
capable of such wrongdoing, but a rumor is going to rumor, and a mind is going to mind.
What is the mind but a tool for thought, even if said thought is falsehood?
My friends are trying to help me through this, doing so much as providing much
needed damage control. Alas, this proves fruitless. The rumor has spread like the second
coming of the plague, and like the plague, there might not be a cure in sight. I wonder how I
got to this point. I wonder how I, an innocent young teen with their life ahead of them went
from a smart, capable, and kind young woman, to a selfish, anger induced husk of negativity.
And to think, this all started because of a guy. All because someone couldn’t stand the
thought of not being in a possible relationship that was doomed to fail right from the get-go.
I was told in my life that failure was a thing that would happen, but so far, seems like failure
doesn’t want to emerge. Seems like failure is just another analogy for success, as opposite as
those terms are. Seems like failure, was on my part: for not staying away…

For not saying no.

For not being so kind.

3b. 25 words or less summary from Bing Copilot: A student is overwhelmed by persistent
rumors and false accusations, feeling betrayed and reflecting on how a failed relationship led
to their current situation.

3c. Is the summary accurate? From my writing, I can confidently say that Bing copilot’s
summary was accurate.

3d. How did you ask Bing Copilot to suggest edits on the original? Improve the pasted story
given above.

3e. Edited version returned by Bing Copilot:

Day 1:

Here we go again. How much longer will this rumor mill persist? I’m not usually one
to beg, but this is getting out of hand. This is the third rumor today—something about
bribery? Oh yes, bribery. The thing one does to get their way. And me. It has everything to
do with me. Of course it does. Doesn’t it? All the worst rumors involve me. Manipulation,
ruined romance, and now bribery? What has this school come to, believing such lies, such
treason, such fallacies? You would think their conscience would scream for them to use it,
would scream that a person like me isn’t capable of such wrongdoing. But a rumor is going
to rumor, and a mind is going to mind. What is the mind but a tool for thought, even if that
thought is falsehood?
 My friends are trying to help me through this, doing their best to provide much-
needed damage control. Alas, this proves fruitless. The rumor has spread like the second
coming of the plague, and like the plague, there might not be a cure in sight. I wonder how I
got to this point. I wonder how I, an innocent young teen with my life ahead of me, went from

to think, this all started because of a guy. All because someone couldn’t stand the thought of
not being in a possible relationship that was doomed to fail from the start. I was told in my
life that failure was inevitable, but so far, it seems like failure doesn’t want to emerge. It
seems like failure is just another analogy for success, as opposite as those terms are. It seems
like failure was on my part: for not staying away, for not saying no, for being too kind.

3f. What do you think of the suggestions? Did it improve your work? I think there weren’t many
edits to the writing, so I can’t really say whether it was improved or not.

3ga. Sad tone:

Here we go again. How much longer will this rumor mill persist? I’m not usually one to beg,
but this is getting out of hand. This is the third rumor today—something about bribery? Oh
yes, bribery. The thing one does to get their way. And me. It has everything to do with me.

3gb. Angry tone:

3h. Was Bing Copilot successful in changing the tone? What did it do to accomplish (or try to
accomplish) the tone change? After looking at the writing, Bing copilot did not change the tone
or did very little to change it. No matter which tone was read, the story was still somewhat
of the original style. Mostly, I could see a few words changed in some places, but other than
that, there was no change.

3i. Ethical considerations? The use of ai on my story seems to not have much of a change. Even
trying to make the story into different emotions isn’t something that can be done easily. The
ethics of this make it feel as if Ai is using my writing as its own, and it feels like plagiarism.
Task 4:
4a. Complaint Letter from Bing Copilot along with the complaint you asked for:

Subject: Urgent Complaint Regarding Fraudulent Charges and Poor Customer Service

Dear DoorDash Customer Service,

I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with a recent experience I had with your
service. On [date], I discovered that my DoorDash account had been compromised, resulting
in fraudulent charges totaling over $200.

Upon realizing this, I immediately contacted your customer service team to report the issue
and request a refund. Unfortunately, I was met with unhelpful and rude responses from your
representatives, who refused to assist me in resolving the matter. Despite providing all
necessary information and evidence, my request for a refund was denied.

It was only after involving my bank that I was able to recover the stolen funds. This entire
ordeal has been incredibly frustrating and has caused me significant stress and
inconvenience. As a loyal customer, I expected a much higher level of support and
professionalism from DoorDash.

I urge you to review this incident and take appropriate action to ensure that such issues are
handled more effectively in the future. Additionally, I request a formal apology for the poor
treatment I received from your customer service team.

I look forward to your prompt response and resolution of this matter.

Sincerely,

[Your Name] [Your Contact Information]

4b. Would you send it? With modifications? Why or why not? I would send this letter to
doordash due to the letter explaining all of the problems I had in detail, along with showing
exactly what I would say as well. I would make modifications such as filling in my name and
contact info, along with the date I was scammed.

4c. Email to a close friend from Bing Copilot along with what you asked Bing Copilot:

Hey [Friend's Name],

I hope this email finds you well! It's been a while since we last caught up, and I wanted to
check in and see how you're doing. Life has been pretty busy on my end, but I've been
thinking about you and all the fun times we've had together.
How's everything going with you? Any exciting news or updates? I'd love to hear about
what's been happening in your world. As for me, I've been [briefly mention any recent events
or updates in your life].

Let's plan to catch up soon, whether it's over a call, a video chat, or even meeting up in person
if our schedules allow. I miss our chats and the good times we always have together.

Take care and talk to you soon!

Best, [Your Name]

4d. Would you send it? With modifications? Why or why not? I would not send this email to my
friend due to the email feeling more professional rather than something I would send to my
friend. Even with modifications, I would have to redo the entire email just to make it sound
like myself.

4e. Ethical considerations? I believe that letters of complaint using ai to those who don’t put
effort in to help is actually an acceptable situation. In a way, it would feel like a tit for tat
scenario in which the company didn’t put effort in to help me, so I’m not going to put effort
in to write a human made letter. However, with the friend email, I believe that using ai is
wrong. It is misleading and it conveys me in a way that my friend could easily tell wasn’t me.

Task 5:
5a. Simple image from Bing Copilot and what you asked for: Draw a simple 2d image of a
Pomeranian with white fur.

5b. How did it do? The ai did the prompt exactly along with adding its own flair.

5c. Complex image from Bing Copilot and what you asked for: Draw a 2d image of a white fur
Pomeranian in a park with a pink bow running after a tennis ball
5d. How did it do? I think the ai did okay. The Pomeranian does have a pink bow and is in a
park running after a tennis ball. However, the image looks more cgi/photorealistic rather
than 2d.

5e. Ethical considerations? Ai uses for image making to me is fine. However, I think it is mainly
for personal use. Using ai images to make a profit, especially considering ai art uses actual
artwork from actual people is wrong and a scam practice.

Task 6:
6a. What are clearly unethical uses of generative AI and why? The main unethical uses of ai is
using ai for profit, such as with making YouTube videos entirely done by ai, selling images
that are ai, or posting ai images that pertain to a product that looks nothing like the actual
picture. I believe that using ai for this is wrong because it takes away from the legitimate
talent that artists and youtubers use to make a profit. When ai or people who use ai try to
make a profit off of others with no work, it takes away from the actual artist who worked on
it, causing them to either not make a profit themselves or feel as if they had their work stolen.
Ai should if anything be used to solve a simple problem or for personal use. If a person
wanted to generate art, they should use it for themselves rather than profit. Same thing with
essays. If someone wanted to write a personal essay for themselves, ai can be used. In my
opinion, ai shouldn’t be used for profit. It should be used for personal and private reasons.
