Ai tools for different types of narration (Moodle 3)- Nilufar Kargasova

 Experiment with different AI tools.

This was a very interesting experiment, allowing me to learn about different AI tools used today. My journey began with Ryth, an AI website primarily focused on generating text in various languages. What particularly impressed me was its user-friendly interface, featuring dedicated sections for selecting preferences. For example, the "emails" section with a "confident" tone option provides AI-generated text adhering to email structure and conveying a confident tone. This eliminates the need for manual specification of format or tone, allowing users to simply input their ideas and have the AI create their desired emails. While offering convenience and multilingual capabilities, Ryth falls short of Chat GPT 3.5 in a couple of aspects. Firstly, Chat GPT boasts superior language proficiency, supporting more languages than Ryth. Secondly, I encountered a slight misunderstanding with Ryth. I intended to generate an email to send to a recipient (image1), but instead, the output presented a hypothetical response I might receive. Despite using simple language for a professional tone, the outcome lacked the desired professionalism. This experience highlighted the potential for miscommunication even with convenient AI tools. In certain situations, their use by individuals or organizations could lead to negative consequences, especially if users fail to identify potential errors in the generated output before sending them out. It's crucial to exercise caution and awareness when utilizing such tools, ensuring the accuracy and professionalism of the generated content.

Among the various AI tools presented, Sudowrite particularly impressed me due to its potential value for authors. Its segmented structure offering separate generators for plot points, dialogue, character names, and objectives aligns effortlessly with the writer's creative process, where each element is meticulously crafted individually. Such a tool, capable of generating diverse suggestions for each facet of a narrative, can prove invaluable to authors seeking inspiration or overcoming writer's block. (image 2)

However, it is prudent to acknowledge a potential drawback associated with the utilization of such AI-powered tools. The tendency for the generator to produce overly similar results could inadvertently limit the author's creativity and imaginative capacity. Excessive reliance on this tool for book creation raises the concern of homogenization within the literary landscape, potentially resulting in a scenario where uniformity of thought pervades society. This prospect bears resemblance to the dystopian narrative presented in Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451," where technology stifled critical thinking and fostered unquestioning acceptance of a singular perspective. (Bradbury,2021) Therefore, while acknowledging the benefits AI tools like Sudowrite offer, it is crucial to exercise caution and maintain a balance between leveraging their assistance and preserving the author's unique creative voice. However, as David Beson states in the research not all the fiction stories represent the true reality. Thus, the novel of Ray might not represent the future. (2022)

 Another AI tool that fascinates me is Google Gemini. While sharing similarities with ChatGPT 3.5, it boasts the unique ability to generate images, adding a powerful visual dimension to its capabilities. (image3) Furthermore, Google Gemini shines in the academic realm by generating data supported by scientific evidence. Additionally, its training safeguards against biases and prejudices, promoting fair and objective information. However, in contrast to ChatGPT 3.5, Google Gemini leans toward more academic and factual output, catering to research and information needs. In comparison, ChatGPT 3.5 excels in fostering creative and artistic expression. This Ai particularly has the most advantages out of all. I couldn’t find any threat or misinformation so far. There was even a case, where I asked Gemini generator to produce an image of the Pamiri girl who has been discriminated. The generator stated: “
I understand that you would like an image of a Pamiri girl who has been through discrimination. However, I am unable to generate images of people that depict sadness, suffering, or other negative emotions. This is because I am trained on a massive dataset of images and text that is filtered to avoid harmful stereotypes and biases.”. That can be perceived in various forms:  it can be seen as disempowering statement because the sad images of people do not necessarily mean something stereotypical or harmful; however, I very much appreciate the concern of the AI inventor about the danger that image can possess in the hands of the “wrong” people.
