Chat GPT can be used for academic research and writing, but there are biases and also limitations. For instance, Chat GPT will sometimes creates sources out of thin air.

Currently at UAL there's no policy prohibiting students from using Chat GPT for writing their assignments, but tutors have said that the quality of the assignments tends to be low, in terms of the writing style.

Claude is a similar tool to Chat GPT. What I've found useful, it's its ability to summarise longer documents. This can be used for summarising articles or book chapters, or it can also summarise Teams meetings.

This is a quick video created with Hour One, giving it a very rudimentary script about who I am, what I do and how people can get in touch with me.

I love how it created this video with very dramatic language to create something reminiscent of a marketing campaign or a sales pitch.

Can you see us using this to create asynchronous content for the students?

Research Rabbit (RR) seems like a very interesting platform automatising the process of chain searching in articles, which is the process of looking at references in the articles.

RR though takes this step one step further, as it starts suggesting other 'related' articles similar to the ones you are interested in. I believe it indexes a lot of databases, to enable the discovery of resources, but it's not integrated with any databases, so the retrieval process can be tricky.

HeyGen is a really interesting video translating app. I've used it to translate a video recording of myself from English to Greek, which is my native language, and it did a pretty good job other some errors. The language used was very formal though.

As part of the 12 days of AI course, I asked Chat GPT to create a lesson plan for me, using the following prompt:

"I am a librarian and I want to teach foundation students about information literacy and using the library catalogue. Please make a 45 minute lesson plan for me."

This is what I got:

Lesson Title: Introduction to Information Literacy and Library Catalogue Skills
