All in Vocabulary
ChatGPT, Suno AI, and Our Efforts to Use Music and ChatGPT together!
We will spend some time with ChatGPT writing stories and building more vocabulary. We will then learn to use Suno AI, a music AI program, and then we will try to get Suno AI to put our writing to music.
This week will be a lot of fun because we will be venturing into a creative area that our House of Wisdom class has never worked with before.
Intercultural Communication Workshop 1

What is intercultural communication?
Definition: Intercultural Communication is when people from different cultures effectively communicate with each other in verbal and non-verbal ways.
Our workshop today will be led by Dao.
Dao will lead some activities to ensure everyone understands the concept of Intercultural Communication. For example, the class will study the image above and make some educated inferences about the people in the image: What might be the background of the people in the image (country of origin, ethnicity, profession, languages spoken, etc).
So please be proactive and engage with us ^-^

The purpose of this week's session is to teach students to focus on prompt writing. A secondary goal will teach students how to use the tools available to check ChatGPT for accuracy.
Dao, Eric, Aries, and myself will supply the theme sentences for each run of ChatGPT; students will supply the prompts.
Students will prompt ChatGPT to write paragraphs using our vocabulary lists at igee2016.com.
Students will refine the answers that ChatGPT produces by writing and refining their prompts.
This process of refinement will continue until the student is satisfied that ChatGPT produced a result that matches the intention of the student given in the prompt.

We will get AI to write on a simple topic at 2 different levels of vocabulary skill and general comprehension, and then to analyze its own results: compare them for sophistication, use of metaphor, outlining the different intended audiiences, etc.
