Custom GPTs
Applied AI: How are we actually using it? (Round Robin)
NOTE: It’s irresponsible to NOT consider the scale of development happening and the subsequent strain on resource use that AI is already generating.
This video from International Energy Agency is an important quick view to frame the scope of the challenge ahead. It will also surely have political implications moving forward, particularly in rural communities: this article paints an informative picture of what’s already happening.
AI - RELEVANT EXAMPLES: Look at us actually trying things out after the event ended!
You can ask questions about any part of the program!
NOTE: How did this get created? – Chris recorded all sessions by VoiceNote, then had them added into his own “Custom GPT” (uploaded the files) to be able to reference the Delta Track curriculum. He suggested we could share it with all of you, and we’re grateful!
Becky Thomas’ post-event summary blog post, written using Claude as a ‘thought partner’ – (which she details here!)
Important note that I’m not sure we mentioned about Custom GPTs — the creator can NOT see what users plug into them, so they’re very anonymous in that way. (Which is good for user, bad for someone trying to gain insight about how a GPT is actually used.). But I suspect this will change as things go along too – we are in the wild west of AI with this stuff and functionality is literally changing by the minute!
