Hi Julien,
I asked ChatGPT a pretty similar question and it seems like we got similar results as well. It is interesting that when I looked at the sources it gave me, they all seemed to be from reputable places and about the topic. I wonder why when asked two very similar questions it will pull up very different sources to make a similar point. I also agree that social media usage can be a wide variety with some people using it a lot and others not using it much, and I can definitely see this trend in the people I know.

Hi Hassen,
When I asked ChatGPT a similar question, It gave me some positive aspects of social media use along with the negative ones. I think it is really interesting that your response only mentioned the negative aspects, and gave different sources. I also agree with the idea that even though the idea of social media is to keep us connected, it can end up making us feel even more isolated. With how many things on the internet are fake now, it can feel like the world we see on our screens doesn't match that of reality and it can become disconnected from the real world.

Hi Alan,
I have had similar experiences interacting with ChatGPT where it will give a very surface-level overview of a topic without showing much nuance. I think this is partially due to how these language models are designed, since they work by essentially predicting the next word in the sentence based on the average of all of the text on the internet. While some of the more modern reasoning models are better at generating some more unique-sounding thoughts, they still have to go off of the information they were trained on leading to mostly summarization. 

### Replying to Rui
Hi Rui,
I agree with your idea that generative AI can often provide information in a more unbiased way than traditional media, and I think that an interesting difference that I see is that when generative AI cites a fake source, it will often do so "unknowingly" and confidently state the fact as the truth. On the other hand, when human created media cites false evidence or expresses false claims, it will often be in a way that stretches the truth more rather than completely disregarding it. I also agree that the balance between using social media to know what is going on in the world while not being sucked in can be hard. It is important to be aware of current events, but so many platforms have addictive algorithms that it can be hard to stay up to date and not end up endlessly scrolling.
