Modifying readings is one of the most challenging and time-consuming tasks in order to enable personalized learning. ChatGPT changes this entirely because it will modify texts that it can access. ChatGPT won't be able to access most articles that are behind paywalls, but it is able to access some like the New York Times.
Modify this article for a fifth-grade reading level: https://techcrunch.com/2022/12/10/openais-attempts-to-watermark-ai-text-hit-limits/
OpenAIs has tried to create a watermark for AI text, but it has faced some challenges. The company wants to be able to tell if AI text has been used without permission. This is important because AI text can be used for things like writing articles, making videos, and creating audio clips.
However, it's not easy to make a watermark for AI text. This is because AI text is often made up of many different pieces of text that are pieced together to make a new sentence or paragraph. This makes it hard to figure out where the watermark should go.
Another challenge is that AI text can be easily changed. For example, if someone doesn't want to pay for the AI text they are using, they could just change a few words or sentences and make it look like a different piece of text. This makes it hard to tell if the AI text has been used without permission.
Despite these challenges, OpenAIs is still working on a watermark for AI text. They hope that one day they will be able to create a watermark that is hard to remove and easy to spot. This would help protect the rights of AI text creators and make sure that they get credit for their work.
Modify the preamble to the Declaration of Independence for a 7th-grade reading level.
We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Declaration of Independence.
Hmm... That one doesn't seem right. It mixed together the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. This wasn't the case until I added the word "preamble" into the prompt. If I change the prompt slightly, I get a better response.
New prompt: Modify the first two paragraphs of the Declaration of Independence for a 7th-grade reading level.
New response: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all people are created equal, and that they are given certain unalienable rights by their Creator. These rights include life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The government is supposed to protect these rights, but sometimes it doesn't. When this happens, it is the right of the people to change or get rid of that government and start a new one.
ChatGPT can be used as a way to consider new strategies to help students. You must never use any personally identifiable information about a student with ChatGPT but you can ask it to write strategies for students with specific issues. These strategies may be flawed so be sure to scrutinize them before putting any into practice, but they can help with brainstorming ideas.
Write I&RS Plan strategies and a SMART goal for a student with school avoidance issues.
Develop a consistent daily routine for the student, including regular check-ins with the teacher and designated support staff.
Provide the student with a safe and comfortable space in the classroom where they can take breaks and de-stress as needed.
Collaborate with the student to identify potential triggers for school avoidance and develop strategies to address and overcome them.
Encourage the student to express their feelings and concerns about school through regular discussions and journaling.
Implement positive reinforcement and rewards for attending school and engaging in class activities.
SMART goal: By the end of the school year, the student will attend school at least 90% of the time, with a positive attitude and increased participation in class.
Write learning strategies to help a fifth-grade student lacking organizational skills.
Implement a daily planner: Encourage the student to use a daily planner to write down assignments, due dates, and upcoming events. This will help the student stay organized and prioritize tasks.
Create a designated study space: Help the student create a dedicated study space that is free from distractions and clutter. This will make it easier for the student to focus and stay on track with their studies.
Use visuals: Encourage the student to use visual aids, such as color-coded folders or charts, to organize their materials and keep track of their progress.
Break tasks into smaller steps: Help the student break larger tasks into smaller, more manageable steps. This will make it easier for the student to focus on one task at a time and prevent them from feeling overwhelmed.
Set realistic goals: Work with the student to set achievable goals and provide regular feedback and support to help them stay on track.
Practice time management: Encourage the student to use a timer or other time management tool to help them stay focused and avoid procrastination.
Seek additional support: If the student continues to struggle with organization, consider seeking additional support from a teacher or school counselor to help the student develop more effective organizational skills.
You can use ChatGPT to examine the voice of an author or character. Have students write about a random event using the voice of an author they are currently reading. Then, have them compare their writing to the work of ChatGPT. Ask the students to examine which piece seems more believable.
Write a summary in the style of Shakespeare about the coverage of Balloon Boy on CNN.
In a world consumed by news, CNN doth report
On the tale of a boy and his balloon, a great sport.
The lad, Falcon Heene, doth capture the hearts
Of many who watch as he doth drift far apart.
But alas, 'twas all a hoax, a deceitful game
And CNN doth report, with great shame.
The parents doth face the consequences,
As the world doth watch in tense suspense.
Yet still, the story doth captivate
As CNN doth not hesitate
To cover the tale, with great vigor and zest,
Of the Balloon Boy, and all the rest.
Write a journal entry in the style of Holden Caulfield about going to a new sushi restaurant in town.
Dear diary,
Today was a real adventure. I decided to try out this new sushi place in town that all the cool kids were talking about. I don't usually go for sushi, but I figured it was worth a shot.
The restaurant was pretty fancy, with all these Japanese lanterns and bamboo decorations everywhere. I was starting to feel out of place, but I kept my cool and ordered a California roll.
When the sushi came out, I was pleasantly surprised. It was actually pretty good! I even tried some raw tuna and eel, which was a first for me. I have to admit, I was a little grossed out by the raw fish at first, but it actually tasted pretty decent.
Overall, I'm glad I gave the sushi place a try. It was a new experience for me and I'm glad I stepped out of my comfort zone.
But, as always, I can't help but feel a little out of place in this world. I just don't fit in with all these fancy people and their sushi rolls. I guess that's just how it goes sometimes.
Yours truly,
Holden Caulfield
You can ask ChatGPT to write code in specific programming languages and provide it specific parameters. This can be used to write in Google Apps Scripts to automate tasks. You likely still need some familiarity with the language you are asking it to write the code in.
Write code in Google Apps Script to generate name tags in Google Slides based off of the names entered in a Google Sheet.
function generateNameTags() {
//get the active sheet
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
//get the names from the sheet
var names = sheet.getRange("A:A").getValues();
//open the Google Slides file
var presentation = SlidesApp.openById("1S23kYX0mPyRRHi1WYFnZp-duWwP-OA4S9lxMXeSivfI");
//loop through each name and create a new slide for each one
for (var i = 0; i < names.length; i++) {
var slide = presentation.appendSlide(SlidesApp.PredefinedLayout.TITLE_AND_BODY);
//set the name in the title section of the slide
slide.getPageElements()[0].asShape().getText().setText(names[i][0]);
}
}
In the example above, I needed to touch up the code by deleting "_AND_BODY". I created a Google Slides template for my name tags and made it so anyone with the link could edit it. Then, I created the Name Tags Google Sheet and entered names into column A. I added the script above, tweaked it when an error prevented it from running, and this file was the result: Name Tags from ChatGPT. The code created a new slide for each row and not just those with names in it, so there are 1001 slides instead of just 8. So, some tinkering would be needed to generate the ideal response from ChatGPT, but this largely automates the process.
