Happy New Years! <3
6th November 2025
So I used myself as a test subject for an experiment.
I know using chatgpt is not good in the long term but I must know how bad it actually is. Yeah, I'm just dumb and stubborn like that.
1/ I used chatgpt to make the content for my presentations and summary assignments.
2/ I used chatgpt to summarize the reading material and then turn it into a note for my group presentation.
The results?
Well, using chatgpt did help me complete my assignment way faster. It was indeed convenient. Just a click and a few prompts and you will get short and concise notes for your learning. Chatgpt can summarize a long research article and pick out the parts you need.
But
You will barely remember anything after a day or two.
Last term, I printed out my reading materials, read them all, and made some notes in a traditional way. It was very tedious and tiring but it helped my retention A LOT.
I still remember the framework for communicative competence and why Chomsky (1959) rejected the Behavioural view about language ability.
This term, it was a mess. Chatgpt studied, not me, I barely studied. And the presentation I did using the notes chatgpt made for me was not good at all.
Only after I wrote down all the theories and concepts into my notebooks and printed out the materials to read that I was able to remember and learn something. The presentation I did using the note I made by myself received much better feedback from the lecturer, because I actually understood what I presented.
Yeah, chatgpt and genAI are convenient. I won't deny that. But if your current self chooses convenience over putting real effort, your future self will pay a price.
So please use AI with great caution.
Damn Glad to Meet You My Seven Decades in the Hollywood Trenches By Tim Matheson 3/5 Stars
I really enjoy Memoirs usually, but I just found this one being okay. I did like seeing what other shows Tim has been in. I really only know him as the VP in The West Wing so it was interesting to read about everything he did before that.
