This article shows how a lot of the recent work in AI (and even web3) is diffusing into mainstream education. Vicki Davis, classroom teacher and longtime education blogger, provides an overview of her explorations into this new world. More edu-AI news: Mitch Weisburgh compares essays written by GPT-4 and Bard. Education Matters is embracing AI-deas. Daily Nous employs a compelling example to show how hard it is to think about a future with AI. New plugins are giving chatGPT eyes and ears and allow it to book a flight, order food, send email, execute Python (and more). A content analysis of news articles on chatGPT in education focuses on academic integrity. Bing/GPT can pass introductory computer science courses. Here's a proof-of-concept (though it doesn't work yet) integration of chatGPT into a Unity editor (Unity is a system used to build virtual reality environments). A look at the labour market impact of GPT and similar tools ("the projected effects span all wage levels, with higher-income jobs potentially facing greater exposure"). ChatGPT as a teaching aid. Making an educational game: what AI accomplished in 30 minutes was superhuman. Finally: build your own chatGPT with SimpleAI or with Alpaca.
