When you hear the words “Artificial Intelligence”, what are the first four things that come to mind?

  1. Video content seen on Instagram reels, TikTok that seem real but also feel off at the same time
  2. Facial recognition filters as seen on Snapchat, TikTok, Instagram, etc
  3. Chatbot assistants, like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, that sound human but aren’t
  4. People that built these systems? Wondering who is affected

My Everyday AI Activity


My top 3 AI-infused services I use daily include:

  1. iPhone (sending messages and having my keyboard autocorrect my typos or words for me)
  2. Using social media: the algorithm and how it pushes what it thinks I will like due to my past histories
  3. Google maps (especially when going to school, it will give me my route and it will give me estimated time arrivals)

A Moment I surprised me


Similar to the example in the reading, I think a moment that surprised me (or caught me off guard) was also when my Photos app generated a montage with photos that even I forgot about. It was really nice watching it but it also made me think about how invasive systems can get, especially when sorting through your data.
