Hey human, this past week has been exciting as we are nearing the launch of our prompt library. With that in mind, we would love some beta testers to hand when we are ready to launch. If you would like to be part of the testing phase, reply to this email and add ‘beta tester’ to the subject of the email. We are trying some new ideas with the newsletter, so no knowledge builders this week.

Industry updates 🤖

  • ChatGPT will see you now → An update to ChatGPT means you can interact with it through voice and through images. This means that you could snap a pic of that maths problem and ChatGPT will provide what it thinks is the answer.

    This AI image was created using Bing. The prompt was ‘Generate a abstract painting called 'ChatGPT will see you now'‘

  • BBC says no to data mining to train AI models → The BBC has stopped OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, from using its data to train their models. This is a recent trend that does not look at slowing down, which could have repercussions for training the generation of AI models.

Fresh prompts ✨

  1. Foundation level: Write me a story → We know stories are ‘psychologically privileged’, so let’s use ChatGPT to write a narrative about a physical process that students need to learn.

    The deep structure of this prompts will look like this:

    Write a narrative version of [insert the name of a particular process] that is appropriate for [insert the name of the year group and place where you teach]. Use in ChatGPT.

Write a narrative version of the [water cycle] that is appropriate for [Year 4 students in the UK]. The output needs to be in British English.

Here is a snippet of the output:

Once upon a time, in a world not so different from ours, there lived a group of little water droplets. These droplets were the stars of their very own adventure – the Water Cycle!

Our story begins high up in the sky, where the sun shines brightly and warms the Earth. The sun's rays reached down and gently kissed the surface of a vast, sparkling ocean. As the sun's warmth touched the water, some of it began to change. It turned into tiny, invisible water vapour, rising into the air like a whisper.

  1. Expert level: Glossary of tier 2 words→ The deep structure of this prompts will look like this:

    Create a table glossary of tier two words based on this extract of [book the extract has come from and author] [paste extract]. Use in ChatGPT. 

Create a table glossary of tier two words based on this extract of [Frankenstein by Mary Shelley].

[It was on a dreary night of November that I beheld the accomplishment of my toils. With an anxiety that almost amounted to agony, collected the instruments of life around me, that I might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs].
