"You might be surprised to learn that the negative effects of social media are both physical and mental. They can change your perception of the world and yourself. While social media does have some positive effects, and there are certainly positive social media stories, it also has a lot in the drawback column.
"Don't believe this? Read on for a list of social media's negative effects. If you recognize any of them as issues in your own life, it may be time to reduce your usage or even stop using social media altogether."

ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot built on OpenAI’s large language models. It is a web app, and you’ll need to visit the site every time to access it.
But what if you can run ChatGPT as a Windows app? While no official Windows version is available, Microsoft Edge and Chrome let you use ChatGPT as a native Windows app. Here’s how you can run ChatGPT as a Windows app using Microsoft Edge, create a Chrome shortcut for the AI bot, and pin the ChatGPT app to the taskbar.

In short, we are already in a world where many students use AI to help them with with school work, but that help goes beyond just cheating (though that happens, too), to include students using AI as a tutor and guide for learning. How will these trends change education? We can start with a history lesson about the last time a technology made cheating easy and challenged a centuries-old approach to teaching a major subject...

This new technology has a direct impact on higher education – and it certainly has classrooms talking. Opinions around the use of this tool in academia are clearly divided between enthusiasts (particularly students) and alarmists (namely professors).

Would AI replace humans? That's the billion-dollar question on a lot of minds. And the short answer is no—at least not in the way you probably imagine.
Sentient forms of Artificial Intelligence, like Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation, don't exist yet. And achieving technology on that scale still seems far in the future. Plus, it'll cost billions of dollars to attain.
However, as it continues to develop rapidly, AI is fast becoming an integral part of several industries. Let's see what areas of your own life AI might disrupt.

The recent revelations that ChatGPT can be used by students to write convincing essays and explanations is a frightening prospect for any teacher. With many exams and assignments now carried out online, there is ample opportunity for using AI writers.
While ChatGPT might seem at first glimpse like a gift to students, it is actually a sign that they need to up their game. Students will need to increase their synthesis of evidence, demonstrate critical thinking and show creativity just to stay ahead of AI during their studies and future employment.

Talk to any educator and they have a classroom management plan. Even if they don’t have a specific set of strategies and are just winging it – that’s their plan.
But now, more than ever before, having a strategic classroom management plan that continually works for you is imperative. Since the pandemic, more educators are reporting students who lack basic social skills and the ability to follow directions. Classroom management frustrations are being cited as some of the top reasons many educators are considering leaving the field.
If you’re struggling with classroom management, you’re not alone. It doesn’t make you a poor teacher, nor does it reflect upon you personally. Classroom management is a skill that can be taught and learned, just like the content you share with your own students.
This guide is a collection of strategies, tools, and supports that master educators in our community have shared. Use these ideas to build your own classroom management plan which reflects your teaching style and goals for your students.

Most of us use ChatGPT wrong.
We don’t include examples in our prompts.
We ignore that we can control ChatGPT’s behavior with roles.
We let ChatGPT guess stuff instead of providing it with some information.
This happens because we mostly use standard prompts that might help us get the job done once, but not all the time.
We need to learn how to create high-quality prompts to get better results. We need to learn prompt engineering! And, in this guide, we’ll learn 4 techniques used in prompt engineering.

Productivity apps aren't designed to push you to do more with less or be more efficient—unless that's what you want. What they really offer is to take something that's a little frustrating or cumbersome and make it better or easier.

The world can’t stop talking about ChatGPT. Once people learn how to use ChatGPT, they love how the chatbot tool gives impressively realistic responses to various inputs. However, some are also concerned about the kind of information users might use the tool to get or create. Others worry they’ll eventually be out of work when ChatGPT replaces them.

Since OpenAI released ChatGPT in November 2022, the internet has been on an AI-inspired rollercoaster. Google and Microsoft, two of the world's most recognized tech brands, have since aggressively pushed to replicate the sensational chatbot's success.
Now, both companies now have a horse in the race. Google has Bard, and Microsoft has Bing AI. But how do these two new chatbots stack up against the phenomenal ChatGPT? ChatGPT vs. Bing AI vs. Google Bard; which is the best AI chatbot? Let's find out.

I don’t need to start this post with the usual predictions that AI will transform our classrooms. It is obviously happening. Students are cheating with AI. Students are getting help with AI. I have required AI for all my classes this semester, and I hear more instructors are doing the same. GPT-4 tutors are being launched by large organizations (both Khan Academy and Duolingo currently have them). The world is changing fast.
But one thing that is not changing is the best way for people to learn. We have made large advances in recent years in understanding pedagogy - the science of learning. We know some of the most effective techniques for making sure material sticks and that it can be retrieved and used when needed most.

After all the speculation and claims regarding the abilities of GPT-4, the much anticipated fourth iteration of the GPT family of language models launched on March 14, 2023.
GPT-4 didn't come with some of the much-touted features it was rumored to have. However, the latest model significantly improves on GPT-3.5 and its predecessors. But how is GPT-4 different from GPT-3.5? We'll take you through some key differences between GPT-4 and GPT-3.5.

According to Andreas Braun, the CTO of Microsoft Germany, Microsoft will release GPT-4 next week with AI powered video generation capabilities. This announcement was made by Andreas Braun, the CTO of Microsoft Germany and Lead Data & AI STU, during the AI in Focus Digital Kickoff. Bing, which currently runs on the power of ChatGPT and GPT 3.5, has faced criticism for its sluggishness in generating and presenting search results. The forthcoming release of GPT-4 is anticipated to enhance Bing's capabilities and provide users with fresh opportunities. Through the use of multimodal models, users will be able to engage via various channels, such as text, images, and sounds. A major highlight of the latest version is its capability to generate videos. OpenAI recently made an announcement about the development of a mobile app for ChatGPT, featuring the latest GPT-4 AI technology. The app will allow users to create videos with AI assistance, showcasing the potential of GPT-4. Along with this, GPT-4 will offer faster answer generation compared to the current GPT 3.5 version. Furthermore, GPT-4's answers will be more akin to human responses, enhancing its human-like capabilities. These advancements will also be incorporated into Bing Chat in the near future. Having invested billions of dollars in OpenAI, Microsoft is poised to quickly integrate GPT-4 into Bing search. Although, Andreas Braun did not mention a specific timeline for when Bing Chat will receive the benefits of GPT-4. This updated version, with its capabilities of generating videos and producing more lifelike answers, has the potential to revolutionize our experience with AI technology.

Artificial intelligence seems to be the latest buzzword, and ChatGPT has been in the news as increasing numbers of people are learning about the platform and exploring its benefits. If you struggle to put your thoughts together, the idea of having a platform to create a cohesive document sounds like a godsend.
If you’re a skeptic, you may wonder how well the platform works and if there are any drawbacks to using artificial intelligence to help you with your job search. The platform may save you time, but you may want to add your touch to any documents generated to stand out.
