My Paragraph:

Search and Rescue dogs are animals that are used in situations such as track people lost in the wilderness or those lost after a natural disaster, or children and victims of crime. The reason they use dogs rather than other animals is because of their amazing sense of smell that can help them locate people by their scent. The most common breeds of search and rescue dogs are Labrador Retrievers, Bloodhounds, German Shepards and many more. For a dog to become a certified search and rescue dog, they must go through training which usually occurs between the ages of 18 months and two years old, and takes two years to complete. In training, search and rescue dogs must go through learning basic obedience skills, learn how to track, signal their handlers, and behave appropriately in stressful situations. A common practice when training SAR (Search and rescue) dogs is the “runaway” practice where the owner will run from their dog and the dog must find them. There are about 22 SAR dogs that are qualified in Canada according to the Canadian Search Dogs Association. SAR dog owners have to be on call and ready to go 24/7. They have to be ready to go once they get a call. SAR dogs’ dedication and training make them crucial to rescue teams and missions.

Ai paragraph:

Search and rescue dogs, often hailed as heroes in times of crisis, possess an unparalleled combination of instinct, training, and unwavering dedication. These remarkable canines serve on the front lines of disaster response, using their acute senses to locate missing persons amidst rubble, wilderness, or even avalanches. Their keen sense of smell, honed through rigorous training, allows them to detect the faintest scent of human presence, guiding rescuers to those in need with remarkable efficiency. Beyond their invaluable skills, these dogs offer comfort and hope to both victims and responders, their unwavering loyalty and boundless energy embodying the spirit of resilience in the face of adversity. SAR dogs are very helpful, offering hope and comfort to those in need during times of crisis.

Reflection:

My experience using Ai was pretty good. It was interesting to see how quickly that the Ai could write a paragraph on a topic that took me 10 minutes. The paragraph that the Ai wrote was accurate and very formal. Some of the information was very similar to my own. This exercise helped me see how Ai can maybe be useful for finding information about a topic but not for writing a whole paragraph for you as the writing style between the Ai and me are clearly different. The results that I got from the Ai were for the most part expected, I thought the paragraph would be a little longer but other than that all the information was accurate.
