Assignment 6B Information Fluency Paragraph

My Paragraph

In 44 American States, over 2.7 million cases of child neglect were reported In the United States in 1991.This is an implication that child battering or child neglect and abuse is more frequent than we may think and that neglect to children could be happening around you. 2.7 million children were reported abused and neglected.  .Most of the children of the children were not accounted for, their neglectors may not have been punished and the children would’ve likely continued to suffer as consequence. Once a child is taken from its home and placed into foster care his lot may not improve. A study in Baltimore by Trudy Festinger, head of the Department of Research at NYU’s School of Social Work, found that 28 perccent of the children in foster care had been abused while in the system

AI Paragraph

Child abuse and neglect in America persist as grave societal issues, often failing to receive the serious attention they demand. Despite efforts to address these concerns, gaps persist in recognizing and responding to the signs of abuse and neglect. The consequences are profound, with long-lasting impacts on the physical, emotional, and psychological well-being of children. Tragically, many cases go unreported or are inadequately investigated, perpetuating cycles of harm. Furthermore, limited resources and systemic failures contribute to the persistence of this problem. Urgent action and comprehensive reforms are imperative to safeguard the most vulnerable members of society and foster environments where children can thrive free from fear and harm.

  • What was your experience in using AI? It was quick and easy and didn’t take any effort to use.
  • Was the paragraph the AI generated accurate? Fact-check any new information and see if it’s true. It was all genuine information and facts. No statistics but mainly information that is generally true.
  • Was the exercise useful? How can this help you with your learning going forward? It was because you can definitely notice the major difference between somebody’s writing and an AI’s writing.
  • Were your results expected? Yes or No? Ex: Yes the results were expected as the AI’s vocabulary and clarity and knowledge was certainly a lot more more than mine. 

 

Break the fake part 2

The article I researched is about King Charles allegedly being diagnosed with cancer during a recent appointment for an unrelated issue at Buckingham palace. No further info on his prognosis has been published or will be published.

-I checked the date it was published February 5th, it was recent news.

-I made sure the source was trusted and secure (BBC)

-I made sure other sources were providing the same information

My judgement about the news is that is real based off of what i’ve seen.
