Yes - I also Tried AI

I’ve been to quite a few sessions regarding AI and what it will do to Higher Ed of late so I joined the waitlist to try Notion’s AI beta. Here are some of the items I played with.

This first image shows some of the options available in Notion.

When you type /helpmewrite these are the options that will come up. I haven’t quite tried all of them but decided I’d focus on items that could potentially help me with work as well as creative projects I had in progress.

I had to have it try to write a poem about how difficult it was to write poems. It is not . . . great LOL

I’m in the feedback stage of an Ars Poetica workshop I’m planning for a conference in the spring so I decided to ask Notion AI to summarize the work I had compiled. It is an OK summary but really only focused on the first part of my research and notes.

It did a better job when I asked it to brainstorm ideas regarding formative assessment.

After watching a video about the different features for Notion AI, I asked it to make me a charge comparing the US, Canada, and Mexico. When I tried this it raised one of the issues I can see: where does the information come from? If someone asked me about that data it used - what would I say? Should I have also asked it to cite its source?

I think this is also part of what is concerning with trying to create using AI. At what point can you call the content that is created “yours”? If I revised one of the items above, is it still my work? Or is it now co-created?

What do you think? I also decided to link this post on “The Blank Page” section of my “Pick Your Pen” project.
