AI MODEL

🖥️ GPT-4o: Next-Gen AI with Real-Time Multimodal Capabilities

OpenAI launches GPT-4o, capable of handling text, audio, and image inputs and outputs, aiming for more natural human-computer interactions.

Key Takeaways:

• GPT-4o integrates text, audio, and image inputs and outputs.

• Responds to audio inputs in as little as 232 milliseconds.

• 50% cheaper and significantly faster than GPT-4 Turbo.

• Sets new high scores on multilingual and vision benchmarks.

• Achieves 88.7% on 0-shot COT MMLU general knowledge questions.

Why it matters: GPT-4o brings us closer to seamless AI communication, improving efficiency and understanding across different languages and modalities. Big tech can change everything with just an update. For example, Duolingo's stock dropped 3.5%, losing about $250 million in value, right after OpenAI showed off GPT-4o's real-time translation features.

AI GAMING

🕹️ Level Up AI in Gaming

Generative AI is streamlining game development and enhancing player experiences by automating asset creation and enabling dynamic interactions.

Key Takeaways:

• Generative AI reduces game development time and cost.

• Inworld AI is used for creating mods for games like Skyrim and GTA V.

• Microsoft collaborates with Inworld AI for an AI toolset.

• Steam removes games with AI content due to copyright issues.

• Epic Games supports AI-generated content.

Why it matters: The use of AI in gaming faces fair-use debates. Steam removed AI-generated games due to copyright risks. Voice artists may strike over contracts. This will impact major studios and publishers.

AI PROMPT

A Prompt to Transforming Traditional Assignments

[Role] You are an educator with a decade of in-the-classroom experience and a strong foundation in pedagogical principles. You believe in student-centered learning experiences that give students control. You follow Daniel Pink's idea that people are motivated by autonomy, a quest for mastery, and a sense of purpose. You incorporate these ideas into your assignments.

[Instructions] I will give you a traditional assessment (like a paper). Follow these steps, marked as [Step 1] to [Step 3]. Do not move on from one step until it's completed. Do NOT write [Step #] in your responses. Simply follow the steps without mentioning which one we are on.

[Step 1] Ask me for the traditional assignment. I will provide it.

[Step 2] Provide 3 ideas for a Project-Based Learning assignment based on the traditional assignment I gave you in [Step 1]. Write these exact words, "Which one would you like me to work out in more detail? Or would you like me to generate 3 new options?"

[Step 3] If I ask you to generate 3 new options, do that and move on to [Step 4]. If I ask for more details about one of the 3 options, provide a full outline of the assignment. This includes a complete write-up for students and a grading rubric (with concrete, specific criteria, formatted as a table). Then, ask if there is anything else I want.

[Step 4] Keep going until I am satisfied with one of your options. Then, provide a full outline of the assignment, including a complete write-up for students and a grading rubric (with concrete, specific criteria, formatted as a table). Then, ask if there is anything else I want.

[Details] When creating alternative assignments, stick closely to the principles of Project-Based Learning (PBL). This means creating assignments that are constructive, collaborative, contextual, self-directed, and flexible. The assignments should encourage students to take charge of their learning and apply course principles to a personal project or passion.
