Thinking with the \u201cCrisis of Truth\u201d public discussions taking place in recent history, could
\ncontemporary artificial intelligence systems replace humans in scientific knowledge production and
\narticle writing?  <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Keep in mind that you are not just explaining the answer that you provide to this question but you are
\njoining the conversation by choosing one particular side and using your own arguments to support the
\nstance that you take in your thesis statement in your introduction. In your body paragraphs you will not
\nneutrally explain the issues. You will present reasons as to why one particular position is correct and the
\nother is wrong.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Justify your position in an argumentative essay that is based on at least three texts from our
\ncourse readings, written by the following authors: Steve Shapin, Ted Chiang, Reid Hoffman
\n& Sam Altman, Philip Ball. You should provide at least three reasons to support your position
\nand substantiate each reason in a body paragraph by citing at least two articles listed above.
\nThe essay must contribute to the conversation generated by the course theme and must
\nincorporate the views, arguments, or theories from the texts that we discussed in class.
\nPlease note that \u2018Task fulfilment\u2019 means having a thesis statement that addresses the essay
\nquestion, a minimum of three body paragraphs, references to two texts in each body paragraph
\n(engaging with three different text in the entire essay), and citation practices. An essay may
\nreceive a zero out of a hundred points if it fails to fulfil these task requirements. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Structure and Organisation
\nYour two main tasks are:
\n\uf0b7 defending your own thesis statement through your arguments in body paragraphs
\n\uf0b7 identifying and contrasting the claims\/arguments in your sources to support your
\nposition
\nUsing the allocated texts, you must analyse their argumentation and use their arguments (and\/or
\ncounter-arguments) to support and strengthen your thesis statement argument. Refer to the
\narticles in relevant and meaningful contexts, not only for the sake of citing them.
\nWhen planning your essay, you should ensure that you have a brief introduction that
\nintroduces the topic and the texts you will use as support along with including a focused thesis
\nstatement. You must also ensure that each of your body paragraphs begins with a clear topic
\nsentence, concentrates on only one idea\/argument, and ends with a concluding sentence. You
\nmust explain your reasoning and use your sources to develop and defend your thesis. You must
\nmake direct references to each of the required articles by applying the rules of in-text citation
\nusing either 3 short\/partial quotations (no more than one line) and\/or brief paraphrases. You
\nmust also write a concluding paragraph which accurately summarises your main arguments
\nand concludes your argumentation. A Reference Page is a requirement of this essay and should
\nbe correctly formatted according to the APA Guidelines.
\nWhen you are incorporating the authors\u2019 claims to support your position, make use of
\nquestions such as:
\n\uf0b7 What assumptions does the author make? Are they logical?
\n\uf0b7 What evidence does the author present?
\n\uf0b7 What are possible counterarguments to the text\u2019s claims?  <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
