An AI Interview

 For this week's assignment, we learned about the use of AI in a teaching environment. We were tasked with using MagicSchool's AI chatbot feature to interview a historical figure/character of our choice, write a report on it and revise our report using the feedback feature.

For this task I chose to do my interview with the famous Rennaisance philosopher Niccolo Machiavelli. I asked 10 questions regarding his views on philosophy, religion, power and leadership. The AI seemed to reflect his views and opinions very well, showing his devoutness to pragmatism, realist personality, and doing whatever it takes to reach a goal.

After I was done with the interview, I wrote my first report, summarizing the overall chat's key points and reflecting on the experience. After that I analyzed my report using Magic School's AI which gave me feedback on structure, style and content. You are able to choose what kind of feedback you want, on what subject you want it on and provide extra details depending on what you're looking for.

Using the feedback provided, I revised my report and made a second, improved draft. The AI pointed out mistakes such as repetitive words, lack of elaboration in some parts and inconsitencies in the overall structure. With these changes I came up with a report that is much clearer and coherent.

Using AI tools like Magic School can allow students to create new content with any historical figure, person or character they are interested in, this will allow them to put their creativity to use and will be an enjoyable activity for them since they are free to chose whoever they want to chat with. The AI's ability to detect and point out mistakes gives them a chance to improve their writing or speaking skills without relying on teachers or peers.
