Bahvioral-Persona (Mable)
Mable represents the type of student who uses AI to help build personal projects. She’s motivated by wanting to build out her big ideas and put them on her resume for job recruitment, but she doesn’t always know where to start. She likes using AI as a mentor to help her through roadblocks. It’s helpful to her when it creates step-by-step instructions on how to build a certain part. However, whenever she uses AI directly in her project, she feels guilty, especially if she doesn’t understand the implementation and she just decides to move on in the interest of time.
Mable’s Journey Map
The journey map below represents the timeline of Mable’s reactions when she starts a project she’s excited about. She starts out inspired and excited to use her current skillset and build upon it as she explores the challenge. When she faces the first challenge, she has motivation to figure it out on Google, and implement the solution herself. When she has a difficult time finding an answer she understands, she loses motivation and asks ChatGPT, which gives her an approachable and encouraging answer. She is re-inspired and now uses ChatGPT in for all her questions. Though, the more she uses it, the more comfortable she is with using the direct code output without fully understanding what it does. This makes her feel guilty, but the urgency of finishing the project is the priority.
