"ChatGPT is great at answering queries. It even allows you to get tailored responses with the help of user personas. This is when you ask the chatbot to role-play as a certain individual, and then answer your questions like the persona would. "But you need to provide a lot of information, like the persona’s identity, speaking style, history, and emotions if you want the AI to accurately role-play the character you have in mind. Here are all the things you need to do when creating user personas in ChatGPT to get better results from the AI."

A new report by Sapien Labs, published this week, used global data from 27,969 Generation Z young adults (ages 18-24) to focus on the possible relationship between childhood smartphone use and current mental health. After all, this is “the first generation who went through adolescence with this technology,” explains Tara Thiagarajan, PhD, founder and chief scientist at Sapien Labs.
The report found that mental well-being “consistently improved with older age of first ownership of a smartphone or tablet, with a steeper change in females, compared to males.”
"Finding solutions to simplify and streamline our daily routines is something we all strive to do. In the age of AI, the development of sophisticated language models like OpenAI's ChatGPT has given us a powerful resource. "Whether you're looking for help with a difficult chore, inspiration for a new hobby, advice on improving yourself, or just a good chuckle, ChatGPT can be your trusted ally for anything. Let's look at a few examples and their ChatGPT prompts that will decrease your workload."
ChatGPT generates remarkably human-like write-ups but lacks something important: a unique personal voice. While ChatGPT can compose thoughtful prose on any topic, the phrasing often rings hollow. To make ChatGPT truly your writing companion, you need to train it to write with your style, pacing, word choices, and tone.
In the last decades, the medical practice has been facing noteworthy transformations driven by the advancement of innovative technologies and Artificial Intelligence (AI). This rapid and widespread transition generated the increasing need for an adequate education curriculum, capable of properly teaching medical students about the prospects and potentials of AI in healthcare. In this paper, we aim to present and describe the elaboration and implementation of a new academic program at the University of Mons (UMONS) designed to educate medical students about AI in healthcare. The cours

Ask your students, What do you know or have you heard about ChatGPT? Have you experimented with it yourself? What did you think of it? What questions do you have?
Depending on their responses, they may need a broad introduction to the tool. If so, we recommend an episode of The Daily called “Did Artificial Intelligence Just Get Too Smart?” (Students can follow along via the transcript.)

If you believe you have taken some photos people would be willing to pay for, you need to know the most profitable places to sell photos online. Thankfully, there are some reputable websites that can help you turn those photos into cash, and selling your photos online can help diversify your income. I know, I know --this is not directly related to education. However, we educators often are on the lookout for ways to augment our income. I thought this might interest someone and I find MakeUseOf to be a pretty reliable source of information. -Jim

More AI Recommendations for Teachers by Vicki Davis
The drafts of the two AI competency frameworks will be presented and further refined during UNESCO's Digital Learning Week which takes place in Paris from 4-7 September 2023.
I spent the last week talking with university officials, teachers and high school seniors about the dreaded college admissions essay.
I cover education technology at The Times. And I’ve been thinking a lot about how artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT, which can manufacture school essays and other texts, might reshape the college application process.
I was particularly interested to learn whether admissions officials were rejiggering their essay questions — or even reconsidering personal essays altogether.
Amid a deluge of high school transcripts and teacher recommendations, admissions officers often use students’ writing samples to identify applicants with unique voices, experiences, ideas and potential. How might that change now that many students are using A.I. chatbots to brainstorm topics, generate rough drafts and hone their essays?
To find out, I contacted admissions officials at more than a dozen large state universities, Ivy League schools and small private colleges, including Juan Espinoza, the director of undergraduate admissions at Virginia Tech

Educators with Great Ideas
Educators with Great Ideas (From the newsletter of Vicki Davis, the CoolCatTeacher) "Before school starts, I've been working to release (as quickly as possible) some remarkable educators with real-world classroom experience in AI. If someone says they are an "expert," I always raise my eyebrows. The AI issue is vital and we must be involved in discussing it. I also stay away from those who say that ChatGPT is "writing for them." I may have flaws in what I write, but it is me writing it.
