Artificial intelligence has permeated our lives in ways we could barely imagine even a decade ago.
Today,
we have robots that vacuum our homes.
We have automated assistants that tell us the time, the
weather, a joke, play music, or bring up facts with a simple “Hey Siri” or “Hey Alexa”.
We can adjust the
thermostat to our living spaces from devices no matter where in the world we happen to be.
We have
cars that can park themselves.
We have access to directions at the touch of our fingers to anywhere in
the world that has cell phone signal instead of stacks of paper maps to help us navigate. We have
watches that tell the time, play music, track your heart rate, and provide reminders and alerts. Just fifty
years ago, there were no electronics beyond the radio in a car.
Phones were wired into above ground
and buried communication lines.
No one ever “misplaced” the phone. Most watches had to be wound.
A digital watch with a quartz display was a new and exciting thing.
Fifty years ago, a computer took up
an entire room, had to be fed cards to run programs, and recorded data on reel-to-reel tapes.
Today,
your phone has more computing power than all the computers used to land man on the moon.
In
November 2022, OpenAI released ChatGPT, a chatbot that operates via Python coding using a large
language model.
GPT stands for

ransformer
.
ChatGPT and Google Bard are forms of generative AI.

science behind the technology, please click out to the video

.
A large language model is a neural network that relies on tranformers, an architecture invented by
Google. Click out to the video,

and

for more details on large language models.
The initial release of ChatGPT, GPT-3.5, is available to users for free while the more advanced version,
GPT-4 (ChatGPT Plus) is available via subscription.
In this class, we will utilize the free version. ChatGPT
can be a powerful tool to save time in writing tasks but we do need to understand both its benefits and
its limitations.

Welcome to the world of ChatGPT! As college students, you're likely already familiar with the
power of technology and its impact on our lives. ChatGPT represents a cutting-edge
development in the field of artificial intelligence and natural language processing. It's an AI-
powered chatbot that can engage in human-like conversations, answer questions, provide
information, and assist with various tasks.
ChatGPT is built on the foundation of GPT-3.5, a state-of-the-art language model developed by
OpenAI. This model has been trained on a vast corpus of text from the internet, making it a
treasure trove of information and linguistic capabilities. As of my last update in September 2021,
ChatGPT has been fine-tuned to offer a wide range of practical and educational applications.
Throughout your college journey, you'll encounter numerous situations where ChatGPT can be a
valuable resource. Whether you need help with research, essay writing, math problems,
programming code, or even just a friendly chat to relieve stress, ChatGPT is here to assist you.
In this introduction, we'll explore the capabilities and potential uses of ChatGPT, while also
touching on the ethical considerations surrounding AI technologies like this one. It's important to
understand the strengths and limitations of AI, as well as the responsible and ethical use of such
tools in your academic and personal life.
As we delve deeper into the world of ChatGPT, you'll discover how this AI can enhance your
college experience, streamline your tasks, and provide valuable insights. So, let's embark on this
journey together and explore the incredible possibilities that ChatGPT brings to your college life!

FOR
THIS
LESSON
(

AI
USED
)
The purpose of this exercise is to explore ChatGPT as a tool for writing.
It is not a replacement for your
own ability to think but it can help you identify content and develop the overall structure of a paper.
It
can also help you navigate the vast and often overwhelming wealth of information available at your
fingertips in professional databases.
This is a brand new tool and as such, the limits and pitfalls are not
entirely known.
Through this exercise, we will explore the following in the context of framing out your
microarray paper text.
1.
Determine the accuracy of the content ChatGPT generates.
2.
Ascertain if ChatGPT provides plagiarized language that can be picked up by a checker such as
Turnitin?
3.
Find out what happens when 200 students do very similar searches for an assigned paper and
load that content into Turnitin.
Will it appear that they plagiarized each other?
4.
Determine if citations created by ChatGPT are accurate?.

Ask ChatGPT to write a 15 page microarray paper for you.
a.
Record the prompt you typed in:
b.
Paste in the response ChatGPT provided.
c.
Is this result something you would hand in for credit?
Why or why not?
Answers should
be brief (3-5 sentences will suffice).
d.
Save whatever was generated by ChatGPT to a separate document.
Upload it to Turnitin
using the ChatGPT First Prompt link.
Your TA will report back to you once everyone has
submitted this to determine if any of the text provided is flagged as similar to other
sources or to other papers uploaded by your fellow classmates.
We’re all learning
together here!
8.
As it is not likely that ChatGPT generated a document you would be satisfied to turn in for your
final paper, let’s fine tune this to help you arrive at a more professional product.
Let’s back up a
bit.
Ask ChatGPT to create an outline discussing sugar signaling in Arabidopsis.
a.
Record the prompt your used:
b.
Paste in the response ChatGPT provided.
c.
How does the quality of the content compare to your first attempt in step 7 above?
9.
Ask ChatGPT to create an outline discussing key points for your selected gene of interest for the
paper.
a.
Record the prompt you used:
b.
Paste in the response ChatGPT provided.
10.
Next, refine the information.
Look at the outline and decide where you might want more detail.
Choose a minimum of 3 key points from the outline and create prompts to generate a bullet
pointed list of information for each.
You may do this with as many of the items on the outline as
you think may be helpful to build out your paper.
If you are finding bullet points are not
returning information in a form you like, try outline form again.
Record all your prompts as you
go and the response ChatGPT returned.
Please number or letter your prompts so you can more
easily navigate the material later as you write your paper.
11.
Select either key points or subpoints for which you would like references.
Ask ChatGPT to
provide references for at least 3 of these points or subjects.
You may make as many requests as
you wish and record them below (3 is the minimum).
a.
Record the prompt you used:
b.
Paste in the response ChatGPT provided.
c.
Select 3 of the references generated using Google Scholar.
Are these real references
with accurate info?
You only need to check three from the first prompt for this
assignment.

13.
At this point, you should have a nice start on how to organize your introduction and the section
of the paper on your gene of interest.
You should have a number of professional journal articles
lined up that you can utilize as references to fill out your outline to create the paper. It is up to
you how much or how little you use the material generated in this exercise to write your final
paper.
The use of AI is not prohibited in writing your paper nor is it required should you prefer
your own thought processes to that of ChatGPT.
It is your responsibility to be sure any AI
generated text you use is not “borrowed” words from a published source.
You can resubmit
your paper to Turnitin multiple times before the due date to check for this issue yourself and
make corrections as needed.
Once the due date has passed, any plagiarism issues will be
treated using the usual university academic honesty procedures so leave yourself time to check!
Be sure to use the provided rubric to ensure your final paper meets all the requirements to
maximize your grades and produce a professional journal-style manuscript.
