This activity will help learners understand the differences between text created by AI and text written by a human. Split the room into 2 groups. Print out the resource and give one to each group. Ask the groups to discuss and decide if the text they have been given is Human or AI.
How to Assess:
- Content and complexity:
- Human writing: Might include personal advice or more casual language. It often has a more conversational tone.
- AI writing: Tends to be more formal and structured, often providing comprehensive advice in a clear, precise manner.
- Creativity and originality:
- Human writing: May offer personal insights or less conventional advice, with a more relaxed or conversational style.
- AI writing: Usually provides standard, broadly accepted advice and follows a predictable structure.
- Errors and nuances:
- Human writing: Could have informal language, minor errors, or a less polished feel. It might include personal touches or varied expression.
- AI writing: Generally well-edited and formal, with no grammatical errors and a consistent tone.
- Context and relevance:
- Human writing: Might tailor advice based on common sense or personal experience, with relatable examples.
- AI writing: Provides general, factual information that is relevant but not deeply personalized.
