Rhetorical Analysis Of Artificial Intelligence

The website my group choose to do our rhetorical analysis on is CNN. CNN stands for Cable News Network. CNN was founded by Ted Turner and 25 other members in 1980. CNN was originally a tv channel. CNN lasted from 1980-2003 on tv. In 9995 CNN was made into a website. The website attracted growing interest and is now one of the most popular news websites in the world. The widespread growth of blogs, social media and user-generated content have influenced the site.The website CNN helped us find the observations “(what)”, examples “(how)”, analysis “(why)” to rhetorical concepts. We figured out how to use the concepts and how not to use the concepts. The rhetorical concepts are audience, purpose, Ethos, Logos, and Pathos.

All around us there are several different communities of people. College communities, people with similar interests, gamers and several more. Another word for these groups is a discourse community. A discourse community is a group of people whom have a common goal and/ or have similar interests. Everywhere you go, there are different discourse communities. In the article, “Computer Science salaries rise with demand for new graduates,” by Ann Bednarz, she talks about how technology graduates are needed more than ever, how marketing how become needy for technology and how one job can be done by several different technology majors. Bednarz’ article can be applied to a computer science student’s journey. Computer science students are slowly integrating into the business world and in a good position. We are needed by many different kinds of businesses. These graduates are working to make their profile look more attractive. Us graduates are entering a new community and will work our hardest to fit in and become part of the ‘team.’ College is the transition from high school and relying on our parents, to growing up and having to rely on ourselves and become responsible adult, individuals.

This postcard builds suspense in the reader’s mind. Alex saying that this adventure could kill him makes the reader interested in finding out more. “If this adventure proves fatal and you don’t ever hear from me again I want you to know you’re a great man.” (Krakauer 3).

When someone brings up the term “artificial intelligence”, a variety of connotations tend to arise, connotations that often are unfair or unrepresentative of the true real-world applications of such a term. Due to the incidentally fear-mongering nature of the media, artificial intelligence can refer to something as basic as a robotic arm in a factory, as well as the implied extinction and/or enslavement of the human race as caused by robo-revolution. As of today, however, when applied in the world of modern technology, artificial intelligence is defined as any innovation that performs a task usually completed by humans. Of course, with this definition, artificial intelligence holds the potential for both societal harm and benefit, and its fate

Nonconformity allows people to go against a prevailing rule so that they may do as they please.

“McCandless didn’t conform particularly well to the bush casualty stereotype.” Jon Krakauer, in his book Into The Wild, argues that McCandless was a unique personality who yearned for adventure. He supports his claim by the usage of epigraphs, interviews with McCandless’s acquaintances, and various maps that are indicative of where the protagonist travelled. Krakauer's purpose is to use an argumentative structure in order to convince the audience that McCandless was more complex than previously known. He uses a nostalgic and commanding tone in order to emotionally appeal to an audience who may have originally had different opinions on McCandless. In Into The Wild, Krakauer employs techniques of ethos and speaker in order to thoroughly convey

Many people wish they can drop everything important to them and isolate themselves from society; very few people will even attempt this, but Chris McCandless breaks societal norms to accomplish this goal. In Into the Wild, John Krakauer tells the story of this young man’s life to inspire the audience to chase their dreams through the use of logos, involved sentence, and anecdotes.

A prosecutor’s job is to find evidence to support his case against an individual accused of breaking the law while a defense attorney tries to present evidence to prove the innocence of the person accused. Neither can be truly be unbiased about their evidence but each of them is motivated to confirm a particular position. Much like a defense attorney, in his biography, Into the Wild, Jon Krakauer attempts to prove that McCandless’s tragedy was not due to his incompetence or lack of knowledge about the wild. He asserts emotions and rational onto McCandless’s experience as well as drawing similarities between his personal experience and McCandless’s in order to create a more sympathetic response from readers.

Award winning journalist and author, Jon Krakauer, in his book, Into the Wild, analyzes the life of Chris McCandless as well as the events that ensued his death. Krakauer’s purpose is to inform the reader about how and why Chris McCandless decided to embark on a journey into the wilderness of Alaska. He adopts an empathetic tone in order to impart to his readers that Chris McCandless was a very misunderstood young adult.

Throughout time, women have been considered housewives and mothers. Not all women stayed home, throughout history women have worked, mainly clerical jobs, teaching, charity workers, and other less demanding physical work. It was never a new thing that women were in the work force, it was the impact the propaganda posters and WWII made on the women in that workforce. This propaganda poster; titled “We Can Do It” features a beautiful women with her arm flexed and she is in her work coveralls, above her it say “We can do it.” the author is J. Howard Miller, he uses pathos and ethos to inspire a social movement that increased the number of working women, and changed the face of the workforce.

The use of Pathos to create a sensation of trust in the Brainy Baby product. This trust was evoked by this well-known company that stated their product would make any baby smarter. The quote is " inspires logical thinking". If this product was truthful there would be thousands of little Einsteins running around. This product was tested and proven that it has the reverse effect Brainy Baby made babies a little bit slower at retaining things later. This video is supposed to help in "language" this plays on people's feeling that either their baby cries and just want them to talk or wishes their baby can get further in life. Sadly, too many of wishes and prayers this was proven as true. If parents want their child to get smarter teach them yourself

Sherry says, "During the years I have spent researching people and their relationships with technology, I have often heard the sentiment "No one is listening to me.". In short, Sherry's point is we look to technology world because no one listens to us in the real world. The words "No one is listening to me" essentially display the tone of sadness. According to these words and as a reader, I feel the loneliness hidden in it. It makes me agree with Sherry's point that the loneliness makes people look to the technology world, where the machines seem to listen to them. As an individual is living and experiencing this life, I think all of us at least once in our lives, there is a moment we feel not been listened to. Thus, Sherry's use of pathos catches our sympathy. Another use of pathos is when Sherry says, "One of the most haunting experiences during my research came when I brought one of those robots, designed in the shape of a baby seal, to an elder-care facility, and an older woman began to talk to it about the loss of her child. The robots seemed to be looking into her eyes. It seemed to be following the conversation. The woman was comforted.". Obviously, I believe that not only me but the readers also feel the loss of this. The woman feels lonely because of the loss of her child, even so, the baby robot still can comfort her. By using pathos, Sherry indicates a reasonable reason, which answers why nowadays, people looks to the technology. Sherry once again gains my sympathy and my agreement to her point. And because of that, I see that Sherry is using pathos

The following memorandum contains my rhetorical analysis on a computer science proposal. The authors John E. Laird and Michael van Lent propose that human level AI researchers use video games for AI research. Throughout the memorandum I will analyze what audiences the article can reach and how it can persuade them in a sense. I will also analyze the conventions of the article and where it seems to lose track of its main objective. As well as analyzing how the document correlates with ethos, pathos, and logos. Audience AnalysisPrimary Audience: The primary audience of the proposal is human level AI researchers. These are the main people the authors want reading their proposal. The proposal does a very good job at stating what the reason for the article is and whom the article is meant for in their introduction.Secondary Audience: The secondary audience could be the abundant number of video game companies. Some of these video game developing companies could take interest into what the authors are proposing AI researchers do. These companies could either lend a helping hand to AI researchers or use their own resources to make their own AI breakthroughs before researchers do. External Audience: An example of an external audience could be the players of video games. The authors brought up many interesting ideas that could attract gamers to join in the push for AI research using video games. The authors describe how more developed AI in video games creates different genres. The

As technologies have advanced to make performing day-to-day tasks easier many have become divided on if technology is helping or hurting society. Many have taken to writing to state their polar stances on the issue. This includes Eric Weiner who wrote “The Cost of Saying Yes to Convenience” and David Cain who wrote “The Danger of Convenience”. They both have similar stances on the issue however present their arguments in different ways. “The Cost of Saying Yes to Convenience” by Eric Weiner is a more effective essay than “The Danger of Convenience” by Eric Weiner because it has a good balance of rhetorical appeals, strong diction, and is organized well which allows the reader to clearly understand it.

What’s the first thing you think of when someone says, “Artificial Intelligence”? The Terminator? Perhaps the Matrix trilogy? Ever since the inception of the computer, science fiction has brought us scenes of super-intelligent computers who want to take over all of mankind. In reality, Artificial Intelligence is still in it’s infancy, and has done much more good for humans than bad. Over time, people’s perspective of AI has changed drastically. We have gone from thinking that AI will take over the world and obliterate mankind to thinking about all the benefits we can get from AI. The change in people’s perspective lately towards a more positive view of AI has boosted the production, sales, and advancement of home automation and AI, making
