In general, you must begin each phase of the assignment without the use of AI and incorporate it for very specific tasks of refinement, iteration, and feedback.

Generative AI is based on statistical probability, that is it draws from all its training data and creates the most common patterns. This is often what is popular, not the quiet nor marginalized voices. If you are using AI to create images or videos you must comment on the biases that occur (ex., are the generated images only depicting White individuals?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your goal is to develop an original educational comic (12-20 panels) that teaches the reader about some idea or concept through the use of text and image.
