Subscribe for weekly tips to play with the emerging AI tools and experience first-hand how AI will change our lives.


Hi friends,

A few months ago, I froze when I saw the world of AI is running away faster than any of us imagined.

I lost the narrative I thought I wanted to tell - how to help young people prepare for a world of AI.

The time for preparing for AI has passed.

It’s time to practice.

Today, we’re going to try a different format to spark you to jump into the AI rabbit hole.

The more you play with the tools today, the better sense you will have of how AI will find a place in your lives - whether in school, work, or your personal lives.

Here we go!


TLDR:

  • Schools begin their Whoa! moment

  • Style prompts for creating Midjourney art

  • ChatGPTS prompts

  • Supercharge your ChatGPT prompts

  • GPT-3 listens like a friend


This week’s snippets

Schools begin their “Whoa!” moment

Educators can choose to block AI tools or adapt their use in their classrooms. I’m encouraged and stunned by their initial reactions. In the world of education where change moves ever so slowly, have you ever seen such an immediate response?

Remember, ChatGPT launched just over 6 weeks ago on November 30, 2022.

ChatGPT

One high school teacher told me that he used ChatGPT to evaluate a few of his students’ papers, and that the app had provided more detailed and useful feedback on them than he would have, in a tiny fraction of the time.

“Am I even necessary now?” he asked me, only half joking.

Across the country, university professors like Mr. Aumann, department chairs and administrators are starting to overhaul classrooms in response to ChatGPT, prompting a potentially huge shift in teaching and learning. Some professors are redesigning their courses entirely, making changes that include more oral exams, group work and handwritten assessments in lieu of typed ones.

Style prompts for creating Midjourney art

Allison’s library for style prompts is a great way to get started with Midjourney.

Lighting / Art Medium / Traditional Artists / TV & Movie / Video Game / Characters / Aesthetic & Style

Andrei Kovalev’s Midlibrary Styles

Andrei has fed over 3500 names, art techniques, genres, artistic movements and styles into Midjourney to see which ones returned a “distinguishable style”. He’s cataloged over 1200 in his Midlibrary.

New styles are featured in his Instagram.

Genres & Movements / Artistic Techniques / Painters / Illustrators / Photographers / Architects / Designers / Fashion / Street Artists / Other Artists

ChatGPT’s writing style is terrible. It’s wordy, verbose, and repetitive. The content can be excellent...But the delivery? Not so much. Let's change that. 👇

GPT-3 listens like a friend

Talking to GPT-3 has a lot of the same benefits of journaling: it creates a written record, it never gets tired of listening to you talk, and it’s available day or night. 

If you know how to use it correctly and you want to use it for this purpose, GPT-3 is pretty close, in a lot of ways, to being at the level of an empathic friend.

GPT-3 is the best journal I’ve ever used [Every]


Till next time

We are living toward incredible times where the only constant is change, and the rate of change is increasing.
