TDC 1: The Fourth Law of Robotics
What should be the Fourth Law of Robotics?
A robot must be honest about its own limitations and uncertainties and must never present a guess as a fact or in other words, hallucinate
Asimov’s laws cover safety and obedience but say nothing about honesty. At this point, AI systems are answering questions people genuinely rely on, and if the AI confidently makes something up, it can cause real harm without technically injuring anyone.
TDC 2: When Life Gives You Sunshine
Write a poem beginning with “when life gives you sunshine”
When life gives you sunshine, just enjoy it. Stop overthinking, go outside, and be present. Someone somewhere is wishing for exactly what you have right now.
Sunshine doesn’t wait for you to be ready. Maybe that’s the point.
TDC 3: 4 Word Dystopia
Write a 4-word dystopia story.
Charged to breathe today.
Reflection
Going into text week, I thought it would be the easiest since we write every day. Turns out creating something intentional with text is actually pretty hard. The four-word dystopia challenged me the most because every word has to carry weight, which is design thinking in practice.
The sunshine poem showed me that even short writing has structure and a message which ties into storytelling. The Robotics prompt pushed me to form a real opinion, which is active learning.
