The latest technological advancement centering on the conversation at work, at school, and sometimes even at home, largely due the emergence of chat-bots such as ChatGPT and Bard, (be) Artificial Intelligence. These new conversational platforms use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help users find instant answers, get creations, learn new things. They can chat with you and provide responses that can help you do things.

While most of the Internet agrees it's not as good as a human at performing many tasks, the debate continues as to AI has the power to replace certain jobs, or even spell the end of humankind. Of course, it brings undoubted benefits, (depend) on how you use it.

(give) it's often described in science fiction films and novels as a world-ending technology that results in killer robots, the present (real) is less dramatic. AI is defined as a type of computer technology that is concerned with making machines work in an intelligent manner, similar to how the human mind works.

(actual), it means we can ‘train' computers to learn, respond and make decisions, but it still requires the ability (learn) from humans to get   anywhere near good enough. While Al is a hot topic right now, the idea has existed for decades. The latest chat-bots are a form of Artificial Intelligence can analyze huge amounts of data and generate responses, though they need a little reminder.

Most of our thinking is not critical thinking. We don't need to make many judgments to travel to work or cook dinner. Critical thinking can save us from blindly making poor choices. So how can you improve your critical thinking skills? You need to practise. There are many ways of doing that. Here are a few:

Look at articles or books written by people on all sides of the issue. For each source, evaluate the argument: What claim is it making? What reasons does it give? Are the reasons logical?

·When you see or hear a claim, ask questions about it. Who is making the claim and why? What is the claimant's background and how does this motivate their opinion?

·Evaluate your own thinking. Where do you tend to not think critically? Why don't you? How can you improve?

·Question things you assume. What claims do you accept without knowing the reasons for them? Try to find out what others believe about that claim and why.

As you grow in critical thinking, you'll become a wiser and more thoughtful person.

A. Stick to your claim.

B. Read about a topic people disagree on.

C. When you think of one, do some research.

D. It's analyzing facts separately so you can make decisions.

E. And it may help you to succeed at work or school as well.

F. We'll only use it if we make a conscious effort to ask questions about what we see.

G. But when a problem comes our way, we need to think critically to decide how to solve it.

When I reflected on its impact on my education, I saw that technology has been significant in many ways. Returning to the story of my grandfather, he had asked me more about how I used it and about university life. He said he thought we had an easy life compared to previous generations. I could see his point.

Not only are we lucky enough to have the same educational benefits as those of previous generations, but we have so many more. We still have walk-in libraries; however, the only option for studying used to be sitting in these libraries with as many books from your reading list as you could find, yet now a single search online can immediately provide access to a huge range of resources. Interaction between students and university staff is another area that has changed considerably. We can have face-to-face time with our tutors, and also communicate using our electronic devices. The most popular means is via social media, and it has become unacceptable for messages to be unanswered for any length of time. While this puts an extra stress on the university's academic support team, we students are greatly benefited.

When we compare the student life of the past and the present, it is tempting to focus on the obvious differences in technology. In fact, students are doing what they've always done: embracing the resources available and adapting them to work more efficiently and to live more enjoyably. The pace of change in technology continuously gathers speed, so we have to value each innovation as it happens.
