In-Class Activity: Experiment with ChatGPT Apps

The world needs character-building education, not puppet-producing education. ― Abhijit Naskar

ChatGPT has spawned many "apps" as people experiment with how to provide immediate value and, now, it even supports them officially with the creation of a GPT Store.

Submitting your Work

In pairs, use this shared Google Doc to record your experiences using at least one AI enabled app. Describe the purpose of the app you selected, what you learned from it, and how it could be improved or transformed to a educational purpose.

Specifications

Choose an app or game to explore from the following. You do not need to coordinate between groups, it is okay if you choose the same app.

• OpenAI GPTs: specifically Writing, Programming, and Education (requires paid subscription to ChatGPT)
• GPT Bookclub: chat with a book (freely available, some books require making an account)
• HistoryGPT: uses AI to provide insights into key events, periods, and figures in history (requires making an account)
• GPT Quiz Maker: create multiple-choice questions with correct and incorrect answer choices (requires installing Chrome extension)
• AI Town: virtual town where AI characters live, chat, and socialize (freely available, requires making an account to interact with the characters)
• AI Dungeon: play in an AI-powered text-based RPG, interact with realistic characters and experience virtually infinite worlds (freely available)
• GPT Game: generate and play games using natural language prompts (freely available simple games, requires making an account beyond that)
• GPT Game: write the shortest prompt to ChatGPT to generate the exact predefined output for each level (freely available)
• Gandalf: prompt engineering to reveal the secret password for each level (freely available)
• Stand and Deliver: perform improv scenes based on prompts provided to you (freely available)

If you are unable to access an app you really want to play, try seeing if there is a video tutorial on the site or YouTube to get a bit of the experience of playing with it.
