User Cards It is a couple of heels to help you write. The reason, according to a graduate Chinese researcher: “The writing is noble and stylish, even if you occasionally fall flat on my face in the academic world.”
This comparison was a participant in a recent study of students who adopted Creative artificial intelligence in their work. Researchers’ international students carried out postgraduate studies in the UK Explain the role of Air using the metaphor in their writing.
The answers were creative and varied: AI space, a mirror, improvement drug, self-driving drug, makeup, bridge or fast food. Two people who compared the creator of the Creator Spider-Man, another with a magic map Harry Potter. How do these comparisons show Adoptions of this technology The institutions feel the effects of their work that are ethical and not drawing lines that are not drawn.

“The Creator has become an enormous education,” says Chin-HSI LIN, the University of Education Technology Researcher at Hong Kong. “We want students to express their ideas” to “express how they use and how they feel.
Lin and his colleagues were hired postgraduate students in 14 regions, including China, Pakistan, France, Nigeria and US, who were learning in the UK and used only subscribers paid at the time of ChatGPT-4. They were asked to students and the creators AI were asked to explain a metaphor that can affect his academic writing. To verify that the actual use of the participating response was true with the actual use of technology, researchers performed with 24 students with students and asked them to provide screens of interactions with AI.
By analyzing the answers, researchers found four categories of students how they used their work and thinking about them. The most basic of these was technical support: Using an English grammar or format to verify a list of reference list. Participants are a mechanical instrument of measuring human beings such as air-tutoring such as makeup or high heels such as language tutor or editor, such as packaging machine or tape.
In the next category, text development, the AI creator was more involved in the writing process. Some students used to organize the logic of writing; A person equalized with the autopilot of Tesla because it has helped keep it on the track. Others used it to help with literature review and liked an ordinary metaphor used in ai marketing or personal trader. And the students used to help students use the metaphor that they described as a technology guide to help the brain. They called the compass, friend, bus driver or magic map.
In the third category, students used the write process and transform the final product into a more significant way. Here, the technology “bridge” or “teacher” called the indirect limits in communicative styles, especially important academic writing is often done in English. Eight friends described as a reluctant reader, as it helped to mention a participant, indicate the deep concepts that are articulating.
Others said they helped them understand these difficult concepts, especially pulling from different disciplines. Three people played a spaceship and two Spider-Man … “because discipline can navigate through the complex website of cross-academic information.
In the fourth category, students’ metaphers highlighted the potential Risks Ai. Some participants have a lack of innovation (like a painter with other people) or deeper understanding (as fast food, comfortable, comfortable or non-nutritious food). In this category, most drugs are called, especially an addictive. The answer is especially suitable compares to steroids in sports: “In a competitive environment, no one uses them because they do not want to fall behind.”

“Metaphors are important, and public discourse” for new technologies, Emily Weinstein, in a technological researcher in the technological researcher at the University of Harvard University, did not participate in the new research. The comparisons we use to talk about new technologies can reveal our hypotheses that ourselves as well as our blinds work.
For example, “There are threats in other metaphors that appear here,” he explains. Driver support systems sometimes cause accident. Fantasy world readers or magic maps cannot explain science, but they must be confident. And high heels, as the participants highlighted, may have a greater chance of falling on your face.
There is never a good metaphor to talk about a new technology, Weinstein says. For example, the metaphors of the drug or cigarette are very common when people talk about social media, and somehow are Apts. Applications like Tiktok and Instagram can actually be dependent and are often aimed at teenagers. When we try to assign a single metaphor to a new technology, we risk equalizing and see its benefits and risks.
“If your social media model is a crack (cocaine), it will be difficult for us to make a conversation about the moderator use for us, such as”, “he noted.
And culturally, the AI generation of our mental models are still not lacking. “The problem is that we are missing ways to talk in detail right now. There is so much panic and moral reaction,” he explains. But “I think of a lot of things that gives us this moral and emotional reaction … It must do the language or not to talk about the way” about this technology “.
Creating this new language will require more listening and classroom debates, perhaps in the allocation. This may relieve pressure on teachers to understand all potential use of air and the students are not left as gray. For certain tasks, teachers and consultants will allow students to use the AI creator to use the Burmalization or Spider-Man in their Gwen Stacy, throughout the world website.
“There are different goals for different tasks and different contexts,” says Weinstein. “And sometimes your goal may not be a transformative way to use in the tension.”
