week7--- Class Discussion Question 1----WU JIACHEN

 When searching for information, I prefer using artificial intelligence tools. My preference is based on the following three reasons:

  1. Strong Information Integration
    Artificial intelligence can extract key information from various sources based on my questions and present it in a clear and concise manner, greatly improving the efficiency of information acquisition. In contrast, although Wikipedia is comprehensive, the information is often scattered and not easy to grasp quickly.

  2. Highly Interactive
    Artificial intelligence can adjust its responses based on user feedback and follow-up questions, providing a more personalized experience. This interactive way of obtaining knowledge allows me to solve problems more accurately during the learning process, while Wikipedia, being static content, cannot provide such interaction.

  3. More Accessible Language
    AI often explains complex concepts in simple and relatable terms, which helps beginners understand more easily. Wikipedia, on the other hand, uses more formal and academic language that may be difficult for users with limited background knowledge.

1.Summary

Overall, although Wikipedia is a collaborative platform with a high level of credibility, artificial intelligence offers more efficient information integration, an interactive experience, and easy-to-understand language, making it better suited to my actual needs when searching for and learning new information.

2.Interesting Point

Interestingly, AI sometimes explains knowledge using examples, metaphors, or even storytelling. This approach makes learning more engaging and also helps deepen understanding and memory.

3.Question

In the process of acquiring knowledge, should we rely entirely on artificial intelligence, or should we combine it with traditional sources like Wikipedia to ensure the completeness and accuracy of information?

    AI is fast and easy to understand, but it has a problem that it can provide inaccurate or simplified information. Particularly in complex topics, details may be omitted or certain perspectives may be emphasized. On the other hand, traditional data come from a clear source and are more reliable. So I think it is best to quickly grasp the outline with AI, check the facts with traditional data, and learn more deeply.

    When acquiring knowledge, we should not rely entirely on artificial intelligence. Although AI can quickly provide information and process large amounts of data, its responses are based on existing algorithms and data and may contain biases or inaccuracies. Traditional sources like Wikipedia, although edited by volunteers, have undergone multiple rounds of review and updates to provide a diverse range of perspectives and relatively accurate information. Combining AI with traditional knowledge platforms ensures more comprehensive and accurate information, reducing misleading and one-sided information.

Introduction to the blog

This blog is a digital forum where students from Collective Intelligence in Practice: Understanding Wikipedia at the Hanyang University in Korea (2025) will discuss their weekly readings and activities. Each week you are expected to post a blog post on our blog and make a comment on another student's post. You can do so on one of the following three topics: a) You can blog about the readings for the next week. As you are expected to do the assigned readings FOR the lectures they are assigned to, you are expected to post your blog and comments BEFORE that lecture. An ideal commentary should be about half a page in length (~200 words), divided into three clearly labeled sections in which you: 1) summarize in your own words of materials you read; 2) mention any new, interesting, or unusual items learned; 3) identify at least one question, concern, or discussion angle that is either problematic in some respect or could have been elaborated more. This question is likely to be incor...

Week 1. My Recent Wikipedia Edits - Jeong seolah (정설아)

I made several edits to the Wikipedia page for 'Daegu'.  Daegu, located in the southeastern part of South Korea, is the third-largest urban area in the country, following Seoul and Busan. With a population exceeding 2.3 million, it is the fourth-largest metropolitan city in South Korea and the second-largest in the Yeongnam region after Busan. Often referred to together with the surrounding North Gyeongsang Province as Daegu-Gyeongbuk, this region is home to over 5 million residents. Known for its rich history and vibrant economy, Daegu stands as a key player in South Korea's cultural and industrial landscape. Below is a summary of the changes I contributed. 1) Summarize and link Sights Section:  - Improved clarity by changing “mountains keep many traditional temples” to “the mountains keep many traditional temples.” Mosque Controversy Section:  - Simplified a sentence by removing “and of the authorities.” Festivals Section:  - Made phrasing smoother by changing “tho...

Week4 - Review about the readings for the next week. - Jo HyeonSeong (조현성)

 1. Summarize in my own words of materials. The book is primarily about the openness of Wikipedia. Openness means that anyone can participate in the creation and editing of articles without any qualifications. Openness can be a double-edged sword. While it means that you can edit without having expert knowledge of a topic, it also means that you can participate even if you have expert knowledge. For experts, articles written by non-experts can come across as inaccurate knowledge, which can anger experts. This anger can also be a catalyst for Wikipedia to continue to improve. However, articles edited only by non-experts can cause misunderstandings and convey incorrect information, so openness can be considered a double-edged sword. In fact, it sometimes causes some conflict, such as Wales' negative stance. Openness also means freedom from copyright, which means anyone can take it and use it anywhere. That is why the knowledge of non-experts can have greater impact. That is why appro...
