For the Position style, I have already thought about my own opinions on the subject and have realized that it is in that "gray area" that I have discussed in my last posts. Therefore, I wouldn't be "repeating what one side" said, but instead would showcase both sides of this argument to come to one conclusion.
As for the Evaluative Argument style, which I am leaning towards, it would work because I want to show the effectiveness of the policies surrounding AI development. I could include many aspects of AI, including in the medical and entertainment fields, to evaluate how AI would improve the world instead of harming it.
As for what won't work, I feel that the Causal Argument and the Proposal Argument is not the best fit for my project. With this topic, there isn't much that someone of the general public can do to support the development of AI except talking about it and spreading the word. For the Causal Argument, I can' t think of enough causes of AI development that would convince my audience enough to make a difference.
Reflection:
I read through Rose and Jenny's posts. I think the main thing that I learned was that there is no reason not to include elements from all of the arguments into one, it is just about how you use them that defines the type of argument you are using for your purpose. For example, Rose wants to use the proposal argument but will include refutation and evaluative properties to help her convince her audience of her argument.

Hmmm... I get what you're saying about position, but from your outline it seems like you definitely want to convey the idea that AI's are cool and people shouldn't be worried about them. Perhaps you could incorporate aspects of one of these arguments to support the other? I can see why you're leaning towards an evaluative argument, but it may be more helpful to your purpose of inspiring and persuading if you take a side (and you can make your own side). Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI think that evaluative argument is best when attacking a program instead of supporting it so I would recommend maybe using the causal argument to introduce your unique point of view. You can also integrate the two types of arguments into your own unique style.
