"I'm pretty sure he's an AI robot" — My government teacher, after I disabled the Windows weather widget
I'm a high school student in Sylvania, Ohio, and just about everything I do traces back to the same habit: noticing when something's broken, and then trying to do something about it. Whether that be a deeply flawed AI detection system creating false positives, a gap in free, quality notes, or a neglected corner left of a club that could use some love.
That's produced a 36-page academic honesty defense, a district-wide guide on fighting positives from erroneous AI detectors, an open-licensed notes program used by over 100 students, and a couple of editorials that ruffled a few feathers. In addition to that, I'm also a NOAA/NWS-certified SKYWARN severe weather observer, and a several years into a meteophotography archive documenting atmospheric events and cloud formations.
Extracurricular-wise I try to keep myself busy. I've competed in Science Olympiad and Quizbowl since the 6th grade alongside Speech & Debate, Student Government, Powerlifting, and have made far more Wikipedia edits than I care to admit.
But through it all, despite the numerous articles and reports, I don't consider myself a writer. I'm more of a hater, discovering flaws and holes in systems to bring awareness, or resolve them myself. Whether through reporting, satire, archival, or personal advocacy, I strive to make sure things work.
(Yes, I use em-dashes—and ampersands—and no, I didn't have ChatGPT write this)
