i didn’t know people were out here using chatgpt to have faux-intellectual conversations but everyone note that generative AI have, most of the time, access to literally anything and everything that is posted online.
as in, right or wrong, it takes that information to answer your prompt. that’s chatgpt and literally any other open AI. as it’s not a human being, it can’t reliably determine if a source is a good one. it also cannot always interpret a source correctly. additionally, they rely on humans to code and train the models. thus we still have human error involved.
AI is a tool, certainly, but people need to understand that they are a tool, not a replacement for human intelligence. it is supplemental. ask AI for ideas for your paper, do not ask it to write it. ask AI how to solve a problem in general (and know it’s likely going to tell you wrong, depending on difficulty), don’t give it your problem and take its word for it. if you ask for a topic/article summary, go back and check it if something seems important or if you’d like to know more.
please don’t be a chump and make yourself look like a fool that can’t formulate thoughts 💕 AI will not “take over” humanity, but people using it incorrectly can/will have widespread, broadly encompassing negative effects on society.

i’ll feel my throat start getting thick and the embarrassment alone makes me start crying so then i just have to leave
this is a secondary blog i’ve had stored in the fridge for a while and im maybe going to possibly start actually using it
hello there
this blog will be dedicated to academia. i’m planning to start posting tips or just overviews of my study routines, maybe both, not sure. i’ll also try to document my process in applying to graduate programs.
about me
name: katherine
work in progress: bs - biology
class: senior
loading… PhD
first generation college student & woman in STEM
i’ve always been exceptionally curious about things on the microscopic level. particularly, as a kid i was very intrigued by the question “are viruses alive”. subjects like the incurability of HIV/AIDS, H1N1, and other diseases garnered my attention.
id like to research disease or genetics or both in tandem after getting the necessary education. i’m currently involved in undergraduate research regarding the alkanes emitted by the gut microbiota of cattle.
feel free to join me on my journey. or just stop by every once in a while. either way, i’m glad you’re here.
masterlist
coming soon (hopefully)! come back by later to see what’s new.
