The answer, of course, is 'yes'. This is a decent if introductory article describing how a Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) might be used in higher education. For example, "One of the key areas where ChatGPT can make a significant impact is in automating administrative tasks. For example, ChatGPT can answer frequently asked questions and provide course information freeing up valuable time for teachers." What strikes me in this article is how we're at the first stage of the SAMR technology adoption model - 'substitution'. It's the later stages that interest me most. P.S. I know the sculpture in the image well. It's one of my favourite pieces. I've had meetings high up in that building, and stood and taken photos from inside the head.
