Artificial Intelligence (AI), in this case, is a form of technology that imitates human intelligence. AI is programmed into machines by humans to do a wide variety of things. Examples of earlier forms of useful computer AI include spell check, autocorrect, and autofill. OpenAI was first to market in November 2022 with its chatbot ChatGPT, but since then, many other generative AI using large language models (LLMs) have been and continue to be developed.

Generative AI (GenAI) is a type of AI that uses LLMs for specific tasks. When given certain inputs, GenAI interacts with humans through its “neural networking” abilities. The concept of neural networks comes from the field of neuroscience, which describes the process and types of neural connections that occur in the human brain as neural activity. GenAI apps are built with similar natural language processing logic and designed using pre-trained transformer model technology to make connections through ongoing, related work.

Software developers build pre-trained transformer models (like OpenAI’s GPT series of LLMs) right into their apps. Apps of all shapes, sizes, and quality that use AI technology are now being developed at a rapid pace, hence the need for this website. You, the user, then interface with apps that have LLMs woven into the software. Simple!

Pick an app on the site here and play with it. Give it a prompt and consider the output. These apps are designed for you to follow up on your initial prompt with corrections or modifications to maximize specificity, so take a little time to tinker. If you’re not impressed or can’t quite get what you want, try another app and repeat the process. If you are uncomfortable or don’t feel like you can find anything useful, go for a walk or return to lesson planning, grading, and writing feedback. Wait a few days for more apps to be developed. Try again.

This will depend on the app. Although you’ll always get at least some output, the more specific your prompt, the more specific the response. Savvy app developers continuously improve the user interface for their products. This means that writing prompts is continuously getting easier because the apps themselves are narrowing specificity for you.

This will depend on your use case. This site is designed to save you time by providing updates on the advancements in educational workload management apps. Check back regularly for updates on applications and software.

You should always read any AI-generated output completely before using any AI-generated resources. We believe that any influence whatsoever by AI software constitutes “AI assistance.” AI-assisted work, therefore, ranges from a single word to an entire copy-and-paste/save. Policy is currently being developed to regulate AI at every level across all sectors, which means that you should consult your local, regional, national, and international rules for use.

Technically, anything that came from somewhere else needs a citation. It should be expected that as technology changes, guidelines will also change. We believe honesty is the best policy for developing and using AI-assisted material.

If the advancements in AI technology since the release of ChatGPT in November 2022 indicate the speed with which this technology will continue to develop, imagination is the limit of reality.
