week 16-about wikipedia understanding- LI ZIKANG

 fter learning about Wikipedia, I’ve gained a few key insights:

1. Knowledge Can Be Shared and Co-created

I used to think knowledge was something only teachers or experts had. But using Wikipedia showed me that anyone can contribute. It’s like a giant knowledge base built by people all over the world. Plus, it’s free and easy to use for research.

2. The Power of Collaboration

Wikipedia isn’t written by just one person — it’s the result of many people working together. Although mistakes happen, the community usually corrects them over time. This shows how powerful collaboration can be when everyone contributes.

3. The Importance of Critical Thinking

Even though Wikipedia is convenient, it’s not 100% authoritative, since anyone can edit it. So, it’s important to double-check facts and think critically instead of accepting everything at face value.

Week8----Artificial Intelligence or Wikipedia?--HE ZIXUAN

 1. Abstract In this era of information explosion, the way to acquire knowledge is also evolving. Wikipedia used to be the first choice for many people, but now artificial intelligence is gradually becoming the new favorite. This article will explore the advantages and disadvantages of artificial intelligence and Wikipedia when searching for information, and why we tend to prefer one over the other. 2. Interesting points Wikipedia is like the thick book of knowledge on your bookshelf, with accurate search and detailed content, but you have to "turn the pages" to understand it yourself.

For example: You ask: "How are black holes formed?" Wikipedia will directly enter the mode: definition, history, scientific background, formula, related people... solid information. ...

Week8---Should AI be used to create Wikipedia entries? YANJINJIN(염금금)

  1.Summary Artificial intelligence has powerful data processing and automated creation capabilities, which makes it excel in many fields. However, whether to let AI create Wikipedia entries is still a question worth discussing. Artificial intelligence can quickly generate large amounts of text and ensure the accuracy and consistency of the content through algorithms, but it also faces limitations in judgment, information screening, creativity, etc. The advantage of artificial intelligence is its high efficiency, but it lacks a deep understanding of human complex emotions and social background. Therefore, relying on artificial intelligence to create Wikipedia entries may result in a lack of depth and detail in the content, and may even contain inaccurate or misleading information. 2.Interesting  points The progress of artificial intelligence has brought us many innovative ideas. For example, when generating Wikipedia entries, AI can quickly organize them into concise and easy-...

(extra credit)week 5 ：Analyzing Casablanca Through Goffman’s Dramaturgical Theory --LAOXINYI

 1) Frontstage vs. Backstage in Casablanca    - Frontstage in Casablanca Rick Blaine is a great example of someone who plays a role on the frontstage. At Rick’s Cafe Americain , he is the detached, cynical club owner who doesn’t get involved in the politics of World War II. His persona is one of emotional distance, which keeps him safe from the chaos and emotional turmoil around him. He hides his feelings and past relationship with Ilsa in order to protect his public image. The role he plays is strategic – one that keeps others at arm's length while allowing him to operate in a morally ambiguous, war-torn world.     - Backstage in Casablanca The backstage is where things get interesting. In private moments, especially when he’s alone or with close friends like Sam, Rick’s true feelings begin to surface. When Ilsa reappears in his life, the cold, aloof exterior cracks, revealing a man still deeply affected by their past and the love he never truly got over. The b...
