Free read-aloud software recommendations from a listserv I'm on: ElevenLabs Reader app, ReadAloud Chrome extension, and the built-in voice in the Edge browser. Haven't tried them yet...

We're sharing an update on the advanced Voice Mode we demoed during our Spring Update, which we remain very excited about: We had planned to start rolling this out in alpha to a small group of ChatGPT Plus users in late June, but need one more month to reach our bar to launch. For example, we’re improving the model’s ability to detect and refuse certain content. We’re also working on improving the user experience and preparing our infrastructure to scale to millions while maintaining real-time responses. As part of our iterative deployment strategy, we'll start the alpha with a small group of users to gather feedback and expand based on what we learn. We are planning for all Plus users to have access in the fall. Exact timelines depend on meeting our high safety and reliability bar. We are also working on rolling out the new video and screen sharing capabilities we demoed separately, and will keep you posted on that timeline. ChatGPT’s advanced Voice Mode can understand and respond with emotions and non-verbal cues, moving us closer to real-time, natural conversations with AI. Our mission is to bring these new experiences to you thoughtfully.

Google committed to watermark generative outputs from their AI products using SynthID. No more AI detection--this scans for watermarks Google's generative AI put into an output and shows what the machine generated vs. human made.

AI writing assistance doesn't just mean letting AI write for you. It means feedback chat as you write, in a pane alongside the document. Copilot does this with Word now, and Google is rolling it out with Gemini in Google Docs.

As a volunteer advisor on the teacher-created app MyEssayFeedback.ai, I'm excited to share that we have just received $25,000 Azure credits from Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub. Congratulations to founder Eric Kean who has poured so much into this passion project.

Teaching voice and tone with ChatGPT: an activity for technical communications and literature study alike from @YeqingKong. "[S]tudents were fascinated by AI’s ability to generate content with varying tones by adjusting the words, phrasing, sentence structures, or punctuation." exploringaipedagogy.hcommons… #ExploringAIPedagogy

The initial confident analysis of this nonexistent poem could be a good example for #criticalAIliteracy. There are two layers of hallucination/mirage since rhubarb is not sweet. "'Rhubarb" by Amanda Gorman is a unique and evocative poem that highlights the poet's skill in weaving complex themes with accessible imagery. In this poem, Gorman uses the metaphor of rhubarb, a plant that is both bitter and sweet, to explore deeper themes of growth, resilience, and the duality of human experience."

@cyndavidsonsbu I have written three books for @mitpress on this subject ("how we treat #AI"). The most recent one "Person, Thing, Robot" is available #OpenAccess and can be downloaded for free. direct.mit.edu/books/oa-mono…

Experimenting with the Revision History Chrome extension for Google Docs. It shows copy/paste and editing history and time spent. Caveat: There are legit reasons for copy/paste, like accessibility tools. Thanks to @CCKuehl for telling me about this! chrome.google.com/webstore/d…

Please join us for a conversation on #CRITICALAIliteracy including a keynote interview w/ @bcmerchant and many others! Reg and program links here.sites.rutgers.edu/critical-a… Please share widely!
Enjoyed this essay from @griccardi_ at @qz about the book — it picked up on some of the key themes and resonances, and hits on why the Luddites' 200 year-old critiques and grievances still resonate today, in the age of AI. qz.com/luddites-saw-the-prob…

Love it! - particularly because you're curating it at the front end, building literacy interactively (unlike my static fabrication reveals :) ) Are you planning to submit this to aipedagogy.org/? (I can't wait for that to launch!)

Critical AI Literacy game: ask a language model to come up with a list of quotes from Shakespeare or another author whose work is easily searchable. Have students guess and then check which are fabricated. For example, I found real and fake quotes in chat.openai.com/share/72de94…
