In another AI in education group, they have this document that is collecting some ideas around these custom bots and educators sharing their approaches: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QLSMEtZRrDDrbW2huRcBwl4tbA9Ond1yVcto2DgMFUQ/edit At the University of Sydney, we're doing something that sounds ...

RE: Introducing ChatGPT Edu

Agree Brian - I also read that the main educational benefits touted seem to come from instructors being able to create custom GPTs, as opposed to using the general-purpose functionality of ChatGPT. This matches with what we're seeing at the University of Sydney - our faculty really warm to AI when ...

Indeed, this seeming realignment away from trusted sources towards more 'community' sources is a bit of an issue. BBC did a recent piece on this that I found useful: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20240524-how-googles-new-algorithm-will-shape-your-internet The NYT's Hard Fork podcast also did ...

This is an interesting discussion! There are a few considerations when it comes to system messages and resources that seem key here, as well as the capabilities of different AI models. The system message is the custom prompt that informs the behaviour of these custom chatbots. In it, we can tell ...

:) From my understanding, there's a difference between Gemini (which is a single multimodal model) vs GPT-4 + GPT-4V which appears to possibly be two models, but I may be mistaken. I wonder if a 'truly multimodal' model which may have a different (more integrated?) way of perceiving inputs poses ...

Thanks for sharing this @Rachel Martin. It's an accessible, down-to-earth resource that provides clarity for faculty. I like how the first step is to clarify beliefs - many times it's the misconceptions about generative AI that hold us back. @Guy Wilson - good list of questions. Here's some things ...

Came across this quite interesting revisiting of Bloom's taxonomy that gives examples of activities at the 6 levels that AI can do, and also examples of distinctively (at least for now!) human capabilities.

Those are great points @Jason Bock.
