I was in my art brain space.
I left the Thursday sesh, and my brain was attuned to new possibilities.
I’d watched the politics program on BBC 2 just before the meeting; it’s always provoking.
What is bias? Only what you perceive, I reckon!
AI, VR and AR don’t know these acronyms?…
You need to learn them if you are on the planet in the foreseeable future.
Barring thermonuclear war (a real possibility) and the onslaught of devastating climate change (an absolute certainty), there is a revolution coming, one that is far more beneficial or more dangerous, depending on your viewpoint!
What do we need?
Students at any level, from any discipline, should want to learn to use, understand and develop text-based and visual generative AI tools.
We will want to explore various platforms and their practical applications and democratise their evolution.
Additionally, we will want to discuss and create more effective and unbiased prompts when interacting with AI tools.
The genie is out of the bottle; there is no returning it or hiding our heads in the sand.
The excuses given by the scared and uninformed to suppress and spike AI, citing responsibility, ethical concerns and “I just don’t understand it”, will always be playing catch-up as the five platform providers give AI its head and let it grow and learn at an exponential rate.
While the University of Chicago tries to poison AI, the University of Warwick presses ahead with its research where students (no doubt using AI generative essay tools) are marked by AI marking tools, that then give said students essay feedback written by AI that says, “Well done me!”
By the end of this emperors new clothes exercise, students will be able to identify the key features of the major text-based generative AI tools.
Develop effective prompts for engaging with these generative AI tools.
Apply their knowledge of generative AI tools responsibly for various tasks and learning purposes.
Understand the importance of utilising generative AI.
Whereas, tutors, lecturers, colleges, universities and academic authorities, not to mention governments, will be living in LaLa land, refusing to recognise that the game has changed…
