We must learn to write with our meaning in mind, rather than search for something that sounds like what we want. By allowing ourselves to brainstorm our thoughts and the cohesiveness of our writing, this allows us to have clear and concise writing.

Is Orwell at fault like everyone else for this "bad usage" of language or is it the fact that he is self aware that sets him apart?

Often times this "bad usage" of language can be as simple as imitating society. However, is this harmless or does it carry repercussions?

This is becoming more and more prominent in today's political landscape. As we begin to see political writing is becoming interpersonal with the writer and their own thoughts/feelings. This kind of writing is not the kind of informative political writing we need, instead it is the kind of writing society is producing.

When we begin to write in a way that is easy, we lose all connection to our writing and start to write vaguely and without meaning. This not only leaves the audience confused, but it may also leave the author unsatisfied with their work.

A lot of the literary work we see today is loosely based on opinion and afterthoughts which leads to inconsistent work. Orwell is saying that modern writers are not taking the time to be precise or intent with their work.

It seems as though a lot of people are using this kind of language, especially when it comes to our current political landscape. There are some people who are using this kind of language to misguide others and some people who are using it simply because they don't know what they're talking about.

This is the equivalent of writing someone simply because it sounds nice and not because it carries any actual meaning behind it.

It seems as though the common problem of today's writing is not knowing how to say the things we want to say. Without having that purpose behind our writing we will continue to fall short.

The way we use language and the way it changes in the process is intertwined with the way it was changed previously by society. Whether it be an effect of the cause or the cause itself, it's more prevalent than ever.

It's interesting that Orwell specifically states that it is a "half-conscious belief" which leads to the idea that whether we always have the intention of it, we let language grow on its own. This correlates with the idea that language changes with us, due to influence and the way we communicate.

Since the use of AI can be described as cheating, what does that mean for those who don't use it, even if a certain amount is allowed? This may be sending a message to students who have abstained from using AI that their efforts may be pointless if they can accomplish the same as those who incorporate AI into their work.

This is important to consider because the use of AI may be indicative of other unaddressed issues, such as procrastination or the lack of students asking for help when they need it. AI has now become a tool for those who don't want to put in the effort and for those who need something to help them last minute. Perhaps, most AI use isn't malicious but rather a last resort, depending on the situation.

The use of AI has made many educators question academic integrity, which is shaping the way students are learning and interacting with their course content. That being said, what can we do to keep academic integrity intact while evolving with AI? Some educators have opted for allowing small amounts of AI to be used, as long as a majority of the work is from the student. Another way to maintain academic integrity is to allow students the opportunity to be honest about their usage of AI, which can be daunting to some students as AI isn't always welcomed in education. This is the kind of conversation that will have multiple solutions, depending on the audience.

When it comes to AI in education, this is the strongest argument. Allowing students to use AI no longer requires them to brainstorm, think freely, or develop their writing skills. A lot of the skills that are developed throughout a student's educational career are suddenly not having the same impact as they can achieve these things with the help of AI.

This conversation shouldn't only be fueled by the growing use of AI, but also the use of technology in general. Younger students are having more trouble learning basic skills such as written and verbal communication, as well as integral reading and writing skills. The use of AI is enabling these students to disregard important skills because they no longer see them as necessary compared to older generations who couldn't rely on technology.

This is interesting to me because we now live in a society that allows technology to be used as a way to avoid completing work on our own or "enhancing" our work. There should be a cautious approach when using AI, this thought process should be the standard. Although, t's clear that more people want to continue to integrate AI into our work and daily lives.

As previously stated, AI is being accepted into society more and more everyday. However, a lot of people are using AI simply because it's a convenient tool to make our lives easier, not because they understand the technology and want to use it to its full potential. This kind of technology has to be used and regarded in a way that creates a balance of using AI for its intended use and maintaining the integrity of the work we produce.

This is something to be increasingly aware of. It's true that AI and it's use will continue to grow as the technology is further developed. It's also evident that no matter who opposes AI it is being accepted more and more into our everyday lives.

This is concerning to me because academic integrity is constantly questioned, even for students who don't use AI. This is creating a negative effect on those who are putting in the time and effort on the assignments versus those who are allowing AI to do their assignments for them.
