AI Fiction

February 19, 2025 / dnevitt / 0 Comments

I watched the film Mrs. Davis. It starts off as a nun destined to find the holy grail. Sister Simone and her ex-boyfriend Wiley make an effort to destroy a powerful artificial intelligence (AI) known as Mrs. Davis. Mrs Davis is capable of destroying the algorithms for us all. She reshaped policies, brought an end to conflicts, and addressed global hunger. AI algorithm ran the world at that moment of time, and as a result, Sister Simone and Wiley had to experience mysterious dilemmas as they searched for the holy grail.

The AI presented in Mrs. Davis kinda reminds me of god. She influences people’s decisions and assumes that people will be willing to follow an AI’s guidance without any doubts and influence their decisions. The conflicts made between people and technology were Mrs Davis’s manipulation and her algorithms used to influence and shape our human behavior.

My conclusion of the show was that there was a conflict between humanity, faith, and technology. Simone is battled by faith and Mrs. Davis the artificial intelligence is the technology. After watching this it has made me question whether or not free will is something people want. Since AI has become more integrated into our daily lives, we must be aware of the potential effects it has on our choices without us realizing it.

Cahokia AR App

February 3, 2025 / dnevitt / 0 Comments

The Cahokia Ar App is an accessible app for both the Monks Mound Tour and the Grand Plaza Tour. With this app, you can take images throughout the historic site and examine ancient dwellings artifacts, landscape features, and more. The app has more features for $5. The app has audio you can listen to if you prefer audio as well. They recommend listening with headphones only. What does the app do so well?

The app enhances the audience/visitor’s experience at Cahokia Mounds. It has augmented reality that digitally reconstructed the mounds helping us visualize what the site originally looked like. The Cahokia app enhances access to visitors, tourists, researchers, historians, etc. The groups it excludes are those who are unable to visit in person, those with physical disabilities, those without access to a smartphone, those who aren’t experienced with technology, and even those who don’t purchase nor have headphones. In my opinion, I think it’s a great app without the additional costs. The only thing I don’t agree with in regards to the app is that it requires you to actually be there.

Da’Janae’s Interest Statement

After reviewing the topics in the syllabus, the topics/readings that seems the most intriguing to me are, How Google Perfected The Web, Speech on the Dred Scott decision, How to Lie with Statistics, How to Lie with Maps, and How the Media Covered the Civil Rights Movement. I chose those because of personal interest, out of curiosity, and how some of it is relevant in today’s society. As the semester goes on, I would like to pursue web development and online exhibits. I currently have a website for my makeup business, but its through square site, and I designed it on my own. Although I did not have any initial interest in this course, I can now say I’m interested in designing video games.

Hi everyone! I’m Da’Janae but I’d prefer to go by Dajah or Janae for short. I am a senior majoring in Nursing double minoring in Forensic Science and Pre Law. Once I graduate I plan on becoming a Forensic Nurse Examiner. In my free time, I like to read, watch crime tv shows, play video games, and go shopping. The tv shows I am really interested in are The first 48, 9-1-1 and On Call. My only active platform is Youtube. I like to listen to podcast and astrology. I don’t share anything on my social media due to personal reasons. I enjoy traveling and trying new things. My favorite city to visit is Las Vegas. I’ve been over 5 times. I currently have a brown dachshund (hot dog dog), and I adore her a lot.
