Hello 👋 {{ first_name | human }},

Hope you have had a good start to the week. Today, a quick look into if AI can actually detect AI content, and some free webinars on AI delivered by Oak National.

📚 Knowledge builders

  • Larry Cuban’s 2 cents on AI → A former professor of education at Stanford gave his thoughts on if AI will transform education in a panel at Google. His words act as a strong reminder that the vocabulary of ‘transformational’ has been used for centuries in the education space, and teaching is fundamentally a human endeavour.

  • Are AI detectors accurate? → The short answer is no. If you are going to accuse someone of using AI, then you need to make sure you can prove it in a way that does not rely on detectors such as TurnItIn. Here a few studies that support this position - here, here, here and here

🤖 Industry updates

  • Juno V4 → A new update of the popular generative AI music creation tool Juno has launched, but it comes at a cost. V4 delivers better sound quality, better lyrics and more dynamic song structures.You can listen to a V4 sample here and compare that to the V3.5. It is a great tool for class assemblies in primary.

  • Oak AI Webinars → Oak National have announced some webinars for teachers and school leaders on the use of AI and the use of their AI lesson planning tool, Aila. The webinar on the use of AI can be booked here, and the webinar on how to get the most out of Aila, here.

✨ Fresh prompts

Multiple examples of text a similar style → Need another example to bring out the deep structures of a writer’s linguistic style? Try the ‘Genre, writer, example of work, your detail ’ prompt to generate multiple examples of text that uses a writer’s distinct style, but on a subject you decide. The deep structure of the prompt looks like this: Write a [genre] in the style of [author] [example of work] but it’s [your detail]. Use in ChatGPT.

You are an expert in writing scripts based on the style famous playwrights. Write a script in the style of Samuel Beckett's Waiting For Godot but it's two teenagers waiting for a bus.

Title: "Waiting for the Bus"

Two teenagers, ALEX and JESS, are sitting on a decrepit bench at a dimly lit bus stop. A broken streetlight flickers above them. The surrounding area is empty, save for an overflowing bin and a stray plastic bag caught in a gust of wind. They are dressed in casual, mismatched clothes, with an air of muted boredom. They speak in fragmented sentences, half-questions, and elongated pauses.

ALEX:
It’s late.

JESS:
Mmm.

ALEX:
Wasn’t it supposed to come?

JESS:
It always comes.

ALEX:
But now?

JESS:
Who knows.

ALEX:
(Staring down the road.)
Nothing.

JESS:
Nothing yet.

Pause. They both stare in opposite directions. ALEX kicks a small rock near the bench.

ALEX:
How long?

JESS:
Since?

ALEX:
Since we’ve been here.

JESS:
Feels long.

ALEX:
Feels forever.

JESS:
But it’s not.

ALEX:
No?

JESS:
Couldn’t be.

As ever, thanks for reading and keep on prompting! Mr A 🦾
