Imagine utilizing the power of AI to generate a comprehensive paper on World War 2. ChatGPT, with its natural language processing capabilities, can craft an informative and engaging piece. Instruct the AI with a prompt like "Write a 450-word paper on World War 2, covering key events, major players, and its lasting impact on global history." The AI can delve into historical archives, providing insights on pivotal moments, military strategies, and the socio-political landscape during that period. The resulting paper can be valuable, demonstrating AI's ability to distill complex historical information into a concise and coherent narrative. As we evaluate AI's contribution, we consider factors such as clarity, accuracy, and the ability to convey historical significance effectively.
AI Evaluation of Student Writing Sample
The two writing samples below are from undergraduate-level writing assignments produced by a librarian. One is from an essay on the film adaptation of Great Expectations and the other is from a research paper on genetics. You can either copy and paste these writing samples or put in your own, then ask the AI to evaluate it and give feedback.
The cinematic adaptation of Great Expectations, directed by Alfonso Cuarón, starring Ethan Hawke and Gwyneth Paltrow who portray Finn and Estella respectively, and released in 1998, reinvents the original story by Charles Dickens, revamping it into a contemporary telling; the reworking changes certain elements, such as the setting and time period, and introduces original additions, such as explicit sexuality, as well nudity, and cinematic techniques. However, these modifications also call for the removal of many details from the novel, choosing to focus the film on the relationship between the Pip figure, renamed Finn, and the enthralling and elusive Estella; the resulting cinematic experience, despite differing significantly from the Dickens novel, uses the concepts of modern society as well cinematic techniques to convey a message not unlike that of the original, updated to meet the expectations of the modern audience.
The gentleman Philip Pirrip becomes the artist Finnegan Bell, cared for by his older sister Maggie and her boyfriend, fisherman and handyman Joe. The eccentric yet calculating Nora Dinsmoor plays the part of the jilted bride, hiding away in the lush mansion much like Miss Havisham. The convict and mobster, Arthur Lustig, easily steps into the role that shadows Abel Magwitch. Estella retains many of her characteristics from the novel, such as her cool nature or her implacable beauty, and still treats Finn almost mockingly, but she attains a more erotic nature in the film. Despite these alterations, Finn and Estella still find each other and begin a relationship, now charged with the modern concepts of sexuality of the twentieth century.
Several twin studies were launched in an attempt to find concordance in sexuality between both monozygotic and dizygotic twins. While earlier twin studies were launched with results, criticisms followed; people insisted a self-selection bias existed in which homosexuals with gay siblings were more inclined to participate, especially if the studies advertised for participants in publications intended for homosexuals. A study of more than 7,600 adult twins launched in Sweden to combat this self-selection bias and reaped statistically significant results. A conclusion derived from the results, according to the study, “support the notion that same-sex behavior arises not only from heritable but also from individual-specific environmental sources” such as illness, trauma, peer groups and sexual experiences (Långström). With so much difference within the set of twins, hereditary effects may not be the only primary deciding factor in sexuality but it still remains statistically significant.
Other studies attempted to link a chromosome to sexual orientation with some degree of success. Researchers Mustanski and DuPree did a full genome scan of sexual orientation in men, with a sample size of 456 individuals from 146 families with two gay brothers or more. They found two regions that suggest possible close linkage, 8p12 and 10q26, and one that just nearly fails in statistical significance, 7q36, in possible linkage. Furthermore, according to the results, “the 10q26 region is of special interest because it results from excess sharing of maternal but not paternal alleles” (Mustanski) which suggests a familial effect on human sexual orientation although the degree remains unclear pending future studies.
