Select one of the following speeches below. Using outside research, in-class notes, and media examples, develop an argument discussing the significance of these speeches within the changes to the medium of television throughout its history. In raising this argument, develop an analysis with visual and historical evidence about how the speech’s main ideas contributed to and demonstrated the industrial shifts and commercial trends of television that we’ve studied. This argument should cite the course readings to support its analysis and incorporate at least oneclose textual analysis of TV programming. Students are encouraged to cite examples of television programming from outside the course only if it supports their argument.

Select one of the following cable channels: TBS, HBO, CNN, BET MTV, and Bravo. Conduct some research to answer the following questions: How can we look at the development of this cable channel to understand how the politics of the mass audience changed in the late 1970s and 1980s? What is the origin of this cable channel? Who or what companies founded it? Based on our studies of network television, how did this channel attempt to re-imagine the concept of television and its mass audience? How did this emergent channel advertise itself to new audiences? How did the channel use advertising (commercials, magazine spreads, etc) to develop this new audience demographic? What type of programming dominated the channel in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s? What can we learn about changing ideas about audience demographics and the representation of social identities through these programming shifts?

I wrote the first four pages so I just need you to write the last 4 and edit the feedback I was giving back. “I just want to say that my dissertation is about the democratization of cultural production, with the music industry as a case study. I’m happy to talk if you’re interested and/or need some direction.
This is an improvement but the main issue is still a blending of your lit review and analysis. It is good that you can apply your concepts, but these are supposed to be in separate sections. The lit review just focuses on the concepts themselves – the analysis section is where you apply the concepts. So this is really just structural – separate your theoretical assumptions (lit review is for concepts) from the application of those concepts (deep reading of your media in the analysis section). Ultimately, your lit review section is too focused on Black Mirror when it should be focused on establishing your assumptions (concepts that you plan on using for your analysis).
Further, each of the sources you chose only have one sentence describing them. I think you need to do the literature more justice – bring in a quote, explain their main argument, and demonstrate more than just a surface-level understanding of your sources.”

or this semester, you’ll have an opportunity to explore, analyze, and critique the latest machine learning system, ChatGPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer). From Wikipedia:
ChatGPT is a chatbot launched by OpenAI in November 2022. It is built on top of OpenAI’s GPT-3 family of large language models, and is fine-tuned (an approach to transfer learning) with both supervised and reinforcement learning techniques. ChatGPT was launched as a prototype on November 30, 2022, and quickly garnered attention for its detailed responses and articulate answers across many domains of knowledge. Its uneven factual accuracy was identified as a significant drawback. Following the release of ChatGPT, OpenAI was reportedly valued at $29 billion.
Since the launch of ChatGPT, discussions about ethical AI and how this specific tool can be used in the classroom rapidly emerged in public discourse. You will have the opportunity to play with this tool and provide feedback and insights based on your experience as a college student. Specifically, you’re being asked to do the following:
Step 1: LISTEN to the following podcast episodes and READ the following article:
A Skeptical Take on the A.I. Revolution (The Ezra Klein Show)Links to an external site. Note: you have access to a free NYTimes account through Kent StateLinks to an external site.. 1 hour 11 minutes
Is Ethical A.I. Possible? (The Gray Area)Links to an external site. 44 minutes
These Women Warned of AILinks to an external site. (Rolling Stone, August 2023)
Step 2: CREATE a ChatGPTLinks to an external site. account.
Step 3: ASK ChatGPT a question about a concept we’ve been learning about and/or discussing in class.
Once ChatGPT renders its answer, take a screenshot of your question (10 points) and ChatGPT’s answer (10 points), and save it immediately. If you’re satisfied with the response, move on to the next step. If you want to ask it another question or ask the question in a different way, repeat this step.
IMPORTANT:
Ask how/why questions.
Do not ask Yes/No questions.
Do not ask ChatGPT to define a concept in our textbook. You may, however, ask ChatGPT to analyze or apply a concept (for example: instead of asking ‘what is yellow journalism?’ you might ask, ‘how has yellow journalism evolved over the years and why is it important to understand as it pertains to the state of journalism today?’).
Be aware that ChatGPT will not provide you answers to criminal or illegal behavior, and will not provide information based on affective and existential questions (i.e. asking how it feels about X topic; or asking it the meaning of life—but it’s fun to ask out of curiosity:). Be sure to read about its limitations beforehand: https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt/Links to an external site.
Step 4: ANALYZE ChatGPT’s response to your question and apply insights from the podcast episodes, course readings, and in class discussions to your analysis. Yes, this means that when I read your analysis, I will be looking for how you connect course material to your experience engaging with ChatGPT. This should go without saying: Do not use ChatGPT to complete your analysis. It has no idea what we discuss in class. This is your opportunity to critique and reflect on ChatGPT, not copy it.
In your analysis, please address the following questions:
Describe your initial reaction to ChatGPT’s response to your question. Were you surprised by its answer(s)? Was the answer accurate, if so how do you know? Did it sound like a human response or did it sound like a machine mimicking a human voice–how do you know? (20 points)
What are Timnit Gebru, Gary Marcus, and Ezra Klien’s main criticism of ChatGPT, do you agree or disagree with them based on your experience using the technology? (20 points)
Based on our readings and discussions, explain how you understand the way power shapes artificial intelligence. In other words, can you easily identify the human actors behind AI and, in your opinion, to what ends are they creating and deploying AI and whose purpose does AI serve? (20 points)
How do you imagine artificial intelligence being used for good in society (at home, at school, at work, in government, across media/entertainment, etc), and how will you know for sure that it’s being used ethically? (20 points)
There is no word limit, just make sure to address the questions above thoroughly.
Total 100 points.
Step 5: POST/SUBMIT your analysis in the form of a OneDrive or Google Doc link, along with the screenshot(s) of ChatGPT’s response.
When you have completed your analysis, simply copy and paste the URL and submit through Canvas. If your screenshots are not embedded in your analysis, you can upload your screenshots separately to the assignment tab.
You can submit this assignment at any time during the semester, but it must be submitted by the last day of class on December 6, 2023 to receive credit. Given the large class size, I can only provide substantive feedback on analyses submitted before holiday break in November.
