Generative A.I.: Home

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) describes algorithms (such as ChatGPT) that can be used to create new content, including audio, code, images, text, simulations, and videos.

Introduction to Generative AI

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools can be used in many ways in your study - to synthesize, create, refine, inspire, test, or modify.  Generative AI models can produce code, video, audio, or business simulations. But the outputs aren’t always accurate—or appropriate.

"Asking for an image of a traditional Thanksgiving dinner may produce an image of a turkey with limes and guacamole." These AI models do their best to follow user parameters but may give back less than useful results. 

According to Udacity "AI pits two neural networks together to produce new and original digital works based on sample inputs from the human user."

AI still relies on human input to produce the AI output so you need to know how to talk to the AI and explain in a way that produces the results you want without a garbage text or image. 

AI for Higher Education

Don't try and pass of AI writing as your own! Programs such as Turnitin are now checking for AI Writing. 

CHATGPT like all language models can at times give nonsensical answers and incorrect information.

Academic Journals related to Open Generative AI

 

Research on Open AI - Majority of this research is in fact open so no paywalls for researching this subject

AIAI is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal on artificial intelligence (AI), including broad aspects of cognition and reasoning, perception and planning, machine learning, intelligent robotics, and applications of AI, published quarterly online by MDPI.

Copyright & AI

"Note that relying on AI-generated images could get you into legal trouble. Some AI tools create a mish-mash of content from artists and brands without permission" 
(Inquierer.net, 2023).

What is training data?

Everything and anything from the internet is the training data.

How to Cite AI

Generative AI in MLA style

  • MLA doesn't recommend using an AI tool as an author and has a different structure for how to cite an AI Tool.
    • Update June 2023

Generative AI in APA style

  • APA recommends citing the AI tool as the author and in-text citations. Writers should follow the APA Style Guide for structure.   
    • Update June 2023

What is a Deepfake?


Deepfakes use AI to generate completely new videos or audio, with the end goal of portraying something that didn't actually occur in reality. 

The term "deepfake" comes from the underlying technology — deep learning algorithms —  which teach themselves to solve problems with large sets of data and can be used to create fake content of real people. 

"A deepfake would be footage that is generated by a computer that has been trained through countless existing images," - Business Insider
