Week 6 - BALT 4362 - Poe bot

-

 I built a challenge bot on Poe that is designed to keep things fun and engaging by giving out random tasks or prompts to push creativity and motivation. This process took me around 10 minutes in total before the bot was ready to use. The idea behind it was to create something that could keep users entertained, whether that’s through challenges like “draw a cat in 30 seconds” or more thought-provoking ones like “write down three things you’re grateful for.” It’s meant to feel like a friendly companion that always has a new idea ready, so you never run out of things to do when you’re bored, stuck, or looking to spark your imagination. A lot of people use AI to do their work for them, and I wanted to create a bot that would give people work to do. There is a mix of physical and mental challenges. All of these challenges are achievable; it is just a way for healthy entertainment. 

When I tested the bot, I tried to push it beyond the obvious by misspelling words and asking for unusual or oddly specific challenges. I wanted to see if it could still understand me even when I wasn’t being clear. To my surprise, it handled those tests well. It came up with fresh challenges when I asked for something completely different from what it had just given. That interaction really showed me how adaptable the bot can be and made the experience more entertaining than I expected. Considering how short the process was to create the bot, I was impressed with both the speed the bot would respond and the challenges it would come up with. This has been my most successful attempt at working with AI.

Welcome to my blog!  My name is Jude Sullivan, and this will be my third Fall here at Benedictine. I am originally from Paris, Illinois but made the decision to move across the country and continue my baseball career in warmer weather, at the Mesa campus. I played on the baseball team my first two years, but I have decided to focus on school/work for this Fall semester. I will be graduating in December with an Accounting degree, and I am looking forward to learning the skills that this class will require.

Week 8 - BALT 4362 - AI Image and Video Generation

-

AI’s ability to create realistic images and artwork has exploded in the last few years, and in my opinion, it is both amazing and terrifying. With the correct prompt, anyone can make professional-quality pictures, no art degree required. Businesses can now use tools like DALL·E, Midjourney, and Canva’s AI generator to design posters and logos in seconds. This levels the playing field for small businesses that do not have the marketing budget to compete with bigger corporations. This can also be applied to students. You can make visuals for class projects, creative writing, or social media without needing advanced design skills. I know I have been able to use it to create presentation visuals I never would have been able to come up with on my own. It does a great job bridging the gap for people who might lack creativity, like me.  But as cool as it is, there are some real downsides. Artists worry about AI copying their work or taking credit for their style, and some AI-generated im...

Week 2 - BALT 4363 - CH 2

Chapter Two of Data Toolkit,  and more specifically the exercises within the chapter,   helped me understand the basics of how Python can control and organize what a program does. Control structures like loops are like giving a set of instructions that the computer can follow repeatedly or only under certain conditions. The examples using “for” and “while” loops made it clearer how repetition works. An example of this would be repeating something a certain number of times or until a condition changes. I liked the comparison to a remote-control car, because it helped me see how code can “steer” what happens in a program. Seeing the examples with “if” and “if-else” statements helped me see how Python can make decisions, like checking whether a number is even or odd. The guessing game example at the end was especially interesting because it combined all the ideas, loops, conditions, and user input into one project. It made Python feel a little less intimidating, since I could se...
