1-Click Science?

What if writing a scientific paper became as effortless as conducting the research itself? Picture this: a group of researchers wraps up an insightful discussion, reviewing their experiment's methodology, findings, and implications. They leave the meeting energized by the intellectual exchange, and by the time they sit back at their desks, a polished draft of their paper awaits them in their inbox. With AI-powered tools, this isn’t science fiction anymore—it’s a rapidly approaching reality. I recently took this vision for a test drive, and the results left me astounded. Let me take you through how I turned a lecture into a streamlined research output, showcasing the power of AI to redefine the boundaries of research, teaching, and publication.

Rethinking Exams in the Age of Chatbots

Today's experiment explores the potential of ChatGPT to assist me in the realm of exams, particularly within my field of teaching, Business Analysis. Can ChatGPT create a question for an exam? Indeed, it can do even more! In the experiment below, ChatGPT showcases (to varying extents) its ability to not only generate an exam question but also to engage in several related tasks: Generate a difficult critical question Solve the question Critically evaluate the solution (its own solution!) Attribute a mark between 1 and 6 Attribute a severe mark between 1 and 6 Defend a mark Refute a mark Generate a variation of the question which is difficult to solve Generate a variation of the question which is even more difficult to solve Give a correction scale with marks from 1 to 6  The impact of AI and chatbots like ChatGPT impact on university exams is becoming increasingly evident. Students and teachers alike are beginning to discover these tools, questioning their potential to generate, cor...

ChatGPT o1 “thinks” and explains how it does

My first encounter with ChatGPT 01-preview this morning has been another glimpse into AI-assisted learning and professional development.  ChatGPT 01-preview is currently available through OpenAI's subscription-based service.  Its ability to 'think' and explain surprised me. While there are limitations to consider, the benefits it brings to personalized learning and critical thinking are evident. Embracing this technology could be another significant step forward in how we teach, learn, and analyze information.  I started by asking ChatGPT to summarize the first book I saw this morning on my shelve when waking up:  The Ad-Free Brand by Chris Grams  - see the experiment below. The AI explained how companies can build authentic brands without relying on traditional advertising. By focusing on community engagement, user-generated content, and authenticity, businesses can foster organic growth.  Next, I extended the book’s ideas by applying the ad-free co...
