And finally, resource generation. One tool Julian demonstrates is #Gamma which allows the creation of whole presentations from just a few prompts!

Image AI is next and Julian introduces us to #BlueWIllow image generator.
The audience have asked for images of Donald duck as an Elizabethan ship captain, and Nietzsche winning the AFL grand final for Hawthorn! Amazing results!

One of the major negatives of #ChatGPT is that it does not provide references (or will invent them!)
Julian recommends #BingAI as it generates answers with real citations. #CRIG2023
@eduridden

[CAVAL Research & Information Group (CRIG) Seminar @CRIGseminar]

Julian uses AgentGPT to ask "how can I maximise the storage of books in my library, spending as little money as possible?" AgentGPT breaks the process down into steps and tries to solve each element of the problem 😮

So, how can we use AI tools in our work?
Julian now demonstrates how using AI can aid us in research, creation, ideation, summaries and simulation. Valuable to so many of us!

The importance of understanding bias is critical when using AI. "Beautiful" images generated by AI include a white women, "scary" images include a Black man

Julian "rips the band-aid off" the issue around using AI to cheat.
Can students use AI to cheat? Yes!
Were they cheating before AI? Yes!

Lots of interesting conversations in the #CRIG2023 chat around why AI voices/bots tend to be female-sounding voices. This interesting article was shared during the discussion: https://t.co/FpFsho6PnJ

Julian highlights the new deep learning technologies emerged from just the last year! #CRIG2023
