Ban Generative AI In Westwood Collegite

Saige Raymack

Because ai is stunting our learning growth and it is bad for the environment

carson maclean

ai for one big reason is destroying our economy n taking away jobs from people, artists etc. i don’t feel it’s right that students get ridiculed for using it when there could be some teachers using it, it needs to be banned altogether to better communities, people n the world

Tenley Brown

As others have said Westwood is an arts school and AI is taking over in our entire school. From teachers using and encouraging it, to students using it to cheat. School is here so we can learn and we have a responsibility to learn. Not to mention all the negative environmental effects that Ai brings.

Ron Anklewich

AI has many benefits. As a search engine, it can gather information to answer many questions. What it can never do, or be permitted to do, is replace human creativity. AI is essentially a cheat code, bypassing actual and rational thought. It gathers and compiles everyone else's ideas without any critical thought or reasoning. More than that, it lacks any sort of morality. Ten million can speak a lie, and it "becomes" fact. "In TRUTH, there is beauty; in BEAUTY, there is truth".

Continue to allow the teens to think and create with their own brains

Kataryna Bernardin

Unfortunate that the school that made me fall in love with learning and start wanting to teach has chosen to ignore the facts and is handing the kids a “cheat code” to never have to think for themselves again. We’re raising the generation that’s going to end up living like the people in Wall-e.

Alex Turtle

AI shouldn't be used for generating in schools or anywhere as its doing your job for you.

Lex Bourget

The whole point of school is to learn and prove what you’ve learned through assignments and when students use A.I. it defeats the purpose of checking your understanding, as well as when teachers use generative A.I. for posters when there’s countless art students who would be more than happy to work on those things

Johnny Hawkins

Someone needs to safeguard our kids from AI.

Barry Krause

Because AI has a purpose, but it should not replace cognitive learning

Zoe Kroeker

AI IS BOGUS GET IT OUT OF HERE

Nirmala Narine

There are many teachers that encourage ai usage at this school.. Westwood is an ART school. Promoting the use of ai at this school kills the imagination and talent that comes from many students attending. The usage of ai is also contributing to the illiteracy crisis, what happened to knowing the difference between They’re, there and their? Stop pushing for the advancement of ai in schools, ESPECIALLY an art school where students are supposed to be expressing themselves through their creativity.

Tricia Huzel

As a parent, I am strongly against using AI, especially in school. It takes away from the creativity and learning aspect that should be taught hands on. All kids need to learn how to express themselves and thier abilities. Weather you are an athlete, artist, actress/actor or photographer or whatever talent a person may have. AI takes self expression, creativity and individual thought process away from the individual. Do we need teachers if we have AI? Not to mention the environmental impacts.

ai sucks

Alyssa Anklewich

Westwood is an art/sport school which both are an art itself. Someone whose been on the yearbook committee for the last two years of my highschool life; Westwood allowing generative AI will always be a massive bitchslap in the face and tells artists and sport players that they are replaceable, and their efforts are worth nothing.

JK

It destroys environment and it can make students lazy and less creative. Students need to learn how to write, solve problems, and find information on their own. Teachers also need to know what students can really do. You also need to grow bond and connection between teachers and students otherwise you won’t know who everyone really is. Please support this!

Priel Plavin

Schools should NOT have AI be included in education. Its a genuine shame and massive disappointment to see an art school that inspires so many artists to end up encouraging AI by implementing it into assignments and lectures. Don't let artists be replaced by something that severely lacks creativity!

Adriana Foster

I believe people should have there own ideas and it’s better for our planet!

rio Harris

this is an art school, stop taking away opportunities from real artists. it's disgusting and ruining our planet.

Rayna Armstrong

Because this is bullshit.
