Hello. I've been using AI to jog my mind, my memory, brush up my knowledge, and enhance my cognitive processes since day 1 in at the end of 2022. I'm also paying a subscription for Copilot pro to use this AI through multiple AI interfaces, including Microsoft 365 desktop apps. However, you can start by using a free account on any AI you want although I would suggest Copilot, ChatGPT, or Gemini. AI is exactly like a screen reader, you don't know what you can do with it until you use it to do what you intended to do in the first place. You're the person behind the wheels. I'm also in college, and currently writing my thesis, and These AI's can help you to boost your writing skills. As for stylistic issues, you should find your own distinctive voice, and one of these AI's can help you to clarify any doubt you have with regard to organization, structure, word choice, terminology, etc. For instance, if you want to learn how to write an academic paper, one of my first questions would be, "As for academic papers, are there different types or just one type?" Then ask how it is structure, what do every single part of the structure is made for, how to write an effective topic sentence, and so on and so forth. It can give you even examples of notorious academic papers that have been written using a particular type, e.g., argumentative. For the iPhone, Copilot is the best option because you can use even GPT 4 turbo for free and the voice response is real good.

I honestly want to understand how these things can be of help to me. But, not do all of the work for me. I am curious, does anyone here use Chat GPT? Or, Microsoft Co-Pilot? Not sure I spelled that last one correctly. If anyone here does use these Apps, or any others I might not be aware of, how accessible are they? Also, what might you use them for? I am currently attending a local community college. My goal is to hopefully get my Masters degree. I am a long way off from this though, and life could go in a totally different direction. I am also an older student. I don't even know if I will ever have a career. Anyway, one thing I would like to use Chat GPT for, is to get help with my writing. I never really learned how to write papers in high school. I feel so behind in this area. I am told all the time that I need to kind of learn to BS my way through stuff. However, I am not at all good with that sort of thing. Please understand, I do not want to cheat! Or, plagiarize anything. I really just want to use AI to help me with this huge struggle. I want help with structure, and all that. But, I want to make the paper my own. And, make changes where necessary. However, I also want to make use of these Apps, in other ways as well, if this can be beneficial for me. I just don't know enough, to know what I might be missing out on. I know we do have to be careful, when using any sort of AI. And, we need to be smart about what we do. I just think though that all of this stuff can really benefit us in a lot of ways. Thank you to anyone who has read this. Any thoughts, or advice will be very much appreciated. Terri -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
