Thanks for sharing @sharplm - UNESCO report on #chatgpt and #AI in higher education https://www.iesalc.unesco.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/ChatGPT-and-Artificial-Intelligence-in-higher-education-Quick-Start-guide_EN_FINAL.pdf #lxdesign

I agree with @sharplm who wrote on Twitter:

“OpenAI has just released APIs for ChatGPT and Whisper (speech to text). Expect #edtech developers to pile in, with apps for conversational language learning, quizzes, creative (and essay) writing. Add speech for educational toys, virtual worlds, tutoring...”

Some of that will be good, a lot will be bad, but the genie is definitely out of the bottle.

“Preprint of my paper for IEEE Annals of the History of Computing, on a 19th century parallel to #GPT3 - a machine that could generate at random over 26 million lines of perfectly formed Latin verse. It provoked hype and concern. A fascinating story. 🧵https://t.co/61cA8v8JEp”

Another very interesting thread on the use #gpt3 (post from twitter), this time writing an #academic paper. @sharplm https://twitter.com/sharplm/status/1603659898948132865?t=4ez1spMCx_BxAYvWX174aw&s=08

“How to write an academic paper in 10 minutes with GPT-3. First, I chose at random the title of a real paper. I chose Hutchins et al., “Domain-Specific Modeling Languages in Computer- Based Learning Environments" from Int. Jnl. AIED. 🧵”

For one day only (because it's more expensive for me), I've powered my story generator at https://story-machines.net with the latest GPT-3 davinci-003 model. Give it a try, to generate an opening for a short story. It's free, with no registration needed. #education #creativity #edtech #stories #ai

GPT-3 has just got substantially better at academic writing. Its new Davinci-3 model accepts more complex instructions and produces longer, more coherent text. But it still invents some (but not all) research studies and academic references. How would you assess this "student essay"? #aied #education #edutoot
