Re: Chat GPT, Anyone?
Hi, I have used it a bit and whilst it can do some really useful stuff - I got some of my students to use it to create a writing frame for an essay so they could think about structure. It does have limits when you are asking about certain topics and it gets things wrong - this is because it is text based and works on the idea of common language patterns etc so it is a language generator - it doesn’t search the web in that sense for information from different websites. So it makes mistakes - it told me I wrote an academic paper that I didn’t actually write - I wrote something similar but not the one it suggested. We have been talking about it a lot at work because it has opened up a huge debate in Higher education about its use by students for essay writing etc - what I would say for now is that it can generate a not bad undergraduate descriptive essay but not anything too sophisticated. I did get it - as a trial - to create a conference presentation for me - but actually when you read through it it just kept repeating the same idea over and over with different phrasing. > On 11 Jul 2023, at 03:39, M.

Re: Working with textboxes in Microsoft Word on mac
I would be interested as well. Thank you so much to anyone who can figure this out. Text boxes are the bane of my existence! I need to read so many documents that include them.
