Character Analysis: A Separate Peace By John Knowles

Moral Dilemmas Caused by Artificial Intelligence “Morality is primarily concerned with questions of right and wrong, the ability to distinguish between the two, and the justification of the distinction.” Scott B. Rae once said that morality is focused on the differentiation of right and wrong in a certain scenario. This concept can be applied to many situations in life. Specifically, this ideology can be applied to the novel, “A Separate Peace”, by John Knowles. In this book, the characters, Gene and Finny, are confronted with moral dilemmas. More specifically, Gene was tasked with the moral choice of expressing the truth about Finny’s injury. The moral choices that the characters in the story had to decide between are similar to today’s teengers

Using artificial intelligence can be morally right if the intended use is for improvement or better understanding of something. In an interview with Darren Hick and PBS NewsHour, Darren explained the vast benefits, consequences, and moral choices associated with artificial intelligence.“Assign a prompt to your students. Have your students put that into ChatGPT. See what essay it produces and then write a new essay that analyzes that essay, says what it gets right, what it gets wrong” (Yang 2023). Having artificial intelligence as a resource can be beneficial. However, this causes a moral dilemma to occur. Many people realize that artificial intelligence can be used to complete assignments. The moral dilemma is that if someone uses artificial intelligence to complete assignments, they are not learning the content or curriculum. On the other hand, artificial intelligence can save students an abundance of time. Students are faced with the dilemma of learning the content at hand or spending time on more exciting things. This supports the idea that there is a moral choice when using artificial intelligence in an academic setting. If teachers can introduce artificial intelligence in a way that engages learning, such as revising and studying an essay written by artificial intelligence, then students will be less likely to use it for plagiarism.

According to an article written by the University of San Diego, “Some students may be shy about taking risks or receiving critical feedback in the classroom, but ‘with AI, students can feel comfortable to make the mistakes necessary for learning and receive the feedback they need for improvement’” The use of artificial intelligence presents many benefits to students in a classroom. Some students may feel uncomfortable expressing their inquiries in front of a crowd. Artificial intelligence can be used to help provide answers to students who need assistance with their work. However, this presents another issue. Students may have the temptation to use artificial intelligence to complete assignments without putting any effort into it. This issue could be resolved by teachers advising students that they should not use artificial intelligence because it hinders their abilities to learn. If students only use artificial intelligence to complete assignments, they will never learn the material. So, if the use of artificial intelligence is catered towards helping students with possible inquiries that they have, then students will be able to learn at their own pace and receive specialized feedback on their coursework. This also takes the strain off of teachers who use their time to address questions that students may have. This allows teachers to focus
