To give some context to my experience with AI, I work professionally as an English teacher and a freelance writer, so I do tons of writing almost every day. Here is the list of AI tools I use regularly:
- I used to rely compulsively on ChatGPT 3.5 to improve my writing, but I have since turned to Google Bard. I like how Bard automatically explains the changes it makes to my writing without me prompting it. It makes me think deeper about achieving a professional tone vis-a-vis flaunting my funky style.
- I use Nightcafe and Dall-E to generate images to complement my writing. I love this image I created about tradition criss-crossing with technology in Japan.
- I have used Pictory.AI and Kapwing to instantly churn out videos based on my prose. Unfortunately, their free versions only allowed me to make 2-3 videos.
- I have used MagicSchool.AI to generate a lesson plan. However, I think it’s not very detailed for experienced teachers like me. Maybe it’s more suited for new teachers trying to feel their way around.
- I have used Diffit to generate reading passages. The awesome thing about Diffit is that it generates a list of vocabulary words and explanations, as well as multiple-choice questions and open-ended prompts.
