Is TikTok Going to be Banned In the USA? 

My Paragraph 

In the recent months there has been a large controversy on whether the popular app TikTok should be banned in America. The social media platform has had large impact on the nation’s youth. About 60% of Americas youth say they are addicted to TikTok. Compared to the 40% who say they prefer other platforms. In addition, America would not be the first country to act. India has already banned TikTok among other chinse apps. However, many politicians believe that TikTok should continue to operate under American ownership. Although China would rather TikTok be shut down than leave it in the hands of the USA. Now the question is left up to the public should the TikTok continue to operate in America? 

AI generated Paragraph 

      As of my last update in January 2022, TikTok has faced significant scrutiny in the USA, primarily over concerns about data privacy and national security due to its Chinese ownership. While there have been discussions and executive orders aiming to ban the app in the past, legal battles and negotiations have led to uncertainties about its fate. However, the situation remains fluid, and decisions regarding TikTok’s future in the USA are subject to ongoing developments, including court rulings, political considerations, and potential agreements with American companies to address security concerns. Ultimately, whether TikTok will be banned in the USA depends on a complex interplay of legal, political, and diplomatic factors, and it remains a topic of intense debate and speculation. 

• What was your experience in using AI? 

I found using AI to be very unfulfilling. There is something about having a computer do your work for you that feels wrong. I feel as if i have commited a crime. The very thought of using AI in my head does not feel right. 

• Was the paragraph the AI generated accurate? Fact-check any new information and see if it’s true. 

I had fact checked the AI paragraph and found the sources to be very reliable. The information had seemed to be true as well. Although the AI had chosen to focus on TikTok’s invasion in the governement rather than its effect on youth. 

• Was the exercise useful? How can this help you with your learning going forward? 

I have found this exercise very helpful. It has given me insight on how wrong it feels to use AI and that I should always use to my own work. Not only that but it takes away from a large part of my education. 

• Were your results expected? Yes or No? Explain. 

The results where not as I had expected. I thought AI would be very inacurate and be full of errors. However, the AI seemed to be very knowledgeable about the given topic. This makes me wonder what else AI is capable of and how it will impact our future.
