This questionnaire was quite interesting. I didn’t expect to get as many incorrect answers as I did. The feedback I received at the end stated, “You are wildly over-confident in your predictions. Without changing your total accuracy at all, you would have scored better if you had been massively less confident in your predictions.” I can say that in some questions, for example, the hello question, I did feel 50/50 on whether AI was capable of doing that.

The Chatgpt forasting game was farely accurate for the most a lot of my low number predications were for things that felt a bit more compex to me like configring a code and playing the happy birthday song. I did not expect the AI to be able to preform that task to the extent it was given.
Title. Hairbrush
Creator Lyda Newman
Date. 1925+
Format. Rubber wrapped a plastic like pole. Designs can vary like wood and plastic.
The hairbrush I brought in for my item is a little more then just a hairbrush in my sense. This is an item I use everyday and have used the same one for atleast a good two years now. I use this item to brush my hair which gives me the upmost confidence in my life and is one of my favorite features within myself and contribuites to a piece of my sense of self and idenity. The hairbrush has changed through time from older generations the hairbruh used to be carved from wood some are still overall wood designs but a lot of the more common models are rubber and plastic. This item is 99% used for grooming and styling it consits of bristle and ball points which are often the same shap in ball point form.
Title: iPhone 13
Creator: Apple Inc.
Date: Released September 24, 2021
Format: Smartphone, aluminum and glass body, digital touchscreen
Description:
My iPhone 13 is more than just a phone, it’s a tool that connects me to the world, stores my memories, and helps me navigate daily life. I use it to communicate, capture moments, and access information instantly. It’s significant to me because it holds personal photos, messages, and notes that document my experiences. Beyond its personal value, the iPhone represents the evolution of mobile technology and how smartphones have reshaped modern communication, entertainment, and productivity.
Apple’s iPhone line has played a major role in the history of technology. The first iPhone, released in 2007, revolutionized the way people interact with the internet and each other. This device speaks to a broader history of innovation, globalization, and the increasing reliance on digital tools in everyday life.
Bringing my iPhone to class highlights how something so common can also be deeply significant. It’s a personal object, but it also represents a larger cultural shift toward digital dependence, convenience, and constant connectivity. Whether for work, school, or leisure, this device has become an essential part of my routine, much like it has for millions of people worldwide.

- Title: Howlite Bracelet
- Creator: Unsure (Market bought)
- Date: May 8th, 2022
- Format: Rock-bead bracelet
- Description: A pearly white bracelet made of howlite to represent resilience, purity, and comfort.
This bracelet is a gift I bought for my mom on Mother’s Day in 2022. I had a weird kick for wearing bracelets, and I thought twinning with my mom would be pretty cool. She loved it, and would wear it pretty often, which was more than enough for me. Unfortunately, she has passed, and I don’t many tangible items that represent her well, but I do have this bracelet. I don’t believe in rocks having energy or anything like that but they’re supposed to signify resilience; so with my mom being the strongest and most hardworking woman I knew, I felt it was an accurate representation of who she was as a person.
Who knew my past self was good at encapsulating someone’s character in a gift? Not me!

What I chose for my digital item was my Beats headphones. They are noise-cancelling headphones perfect for people who don’t like loud noise, and a benefit is they keep your ears nice and warm during the cold months. You have 50 hours of playtime so they could be between music, calls, etc… I really like using them because they have been the best investment I made for myself and they are worth the money so go invest in some beast headphones.

I chose to look at one of my favorite books from my childhood, and a series that is considered to be a gateway of sorts into fantasy: Eragon by Christopher Paolini. It also helps that part of my job is creating individual item records to match with a parent item for library cataloging, so this feels very familiar, as I mostly looked at the publishing information that libraries use for their Marc reord catologing.

- Title – HP Pavilion x360
- Creator- Hewlett- Packard
- Date- 2024
- Format- Physical Object
- Description- This laptop that I have been using on a daily basis since the beginning of 2024 has significant value to me. Once my old HP had stopped working, I had to replace it and buy a new computer. I trust HP very much just due to the fact all my desktops I have owned have been HP and even old computers I’ve used. This current laptop has been with me through so many different assignments and places. It’s something that I keep on me just as much as my phone. This laptop has experienced sometimes where I have dropped it and made slight dents but for the most part it has been there with me through the thick of assignments. The fact that I can run as many tabs as possible and create a folder on top of the tabs to make room for more has been a big help while using this. Being able to fold it back and create a more minimalistic and sleeker look really makes me enjoy this HP laptop each day I use it.
This was an interesting experiement, mostly because it pointed out that although I have a lot of skepticism toward AI models like ChatGPT, I was still expecting it to do better than it did – particularly in math settings. I was also surprised, and it seemed so was the author, that the model had a harder time with simple arithmetic than harder calculus – this was where I kept assuming the model would fail, but it handled calc better.
It also was interesting that previous successes, such as the success of answering the first tic-tac-toe board question, led me to believe that it would answer correctly about the game in a second follow-up question. I generally went with my first assumptions, and according to the model I was “overconfident” in my responses, so I guess I’m confident it will mostly fail, with an approximate 50% success rate.
