Programming Question

Description

Artificial Intelligence is quickly becoming an influential part of our lives. From creative writing to creating art, humans are continuing to expand the integration of AI into many fields. Along with the development of AI come challenging questions on topics such as plagiarism, bias, and false information. In this assignment, students will be given the chance to work with AI. Students will be given a simple but broken code. The code should flash the 10 RGB LEDs included on the Adafruit Circuit Playground Express (CPE) board Red, Green and then Blue in a chasing pattern. Students must use ChatGPT as a tool to help them debug the code. The goal of this assignment is to introduce AI as a tool for learning and experimenting but also to begin thinking about the ethical questions surrounding AI. Don’t worry if you are not completely successful in fixing the code as the important part of this assignment is to introduce students to the idea of using AI as a tool to help with the learning of coding and troubleshooting. A 500 to 1000 word reflection will make up the majority of the assignment along with your final code. You MUST source ChatGPT in your post on your portfolio. When writing your reflection, consider the following:

• What did AI do for you in this assignment?
• Do you feel you contributed meaningfully to this assignment?
• Was this assignment made easier or more difficult with the integration of AI?
• How does using AI compare to using traditional coding forums when asking for help?
• Is the use of AI in this capacity ethical?
• Did AI ease any concerns about possibly coding for the first time?

Upload 6 screenshots of the process of fixing the code and working with ChatGPT, a short video of the Adafruit (CPE) working, and your reflection to your website/portfolio.

Tips:

• The majority of marks for this assignment come from the reflection. When writing your reflection, think about the process of coding with the help of ChatGPT. If you are new to coding, was it helpful? If you are experienced in coding, how did it do? What is the significance of ChatGPT with respect to coding? Think about the questions included in this assignment.
• Have fun experimenting! While we are trying to fix the code, getting the perfect result is not worth stressing over.
