twee.com- yes, please!

​It is not often that I recommend a website, service or a book, but I am definitely going to make an exception for Twee.com. 

Why? 

Because it is an amazing AI-fuelled engine which offers tools designed especially for language teachers! 

Sounds great, what exactly am I looking at? 

Tools to turn virtually any imaginable linguistic input into a ready lesson to practice vocabulary, check reading and listening comprehension, generate a video-based activity, drill some grammar or design a homework assignment.

OK, how does it compare to ChatGPT that I already use as my teaching assistant? 

Right. ChatGPT is an invaluable help on lesson planning, yet it is a very universal and comprehensible model that sometimes requires us to painstakingly reiterate the prompt several times to meet our needs and expectations as to level and type of activity, while Twee is an AI-based teacher toolbox, with a ready selection of options for specific, most common task types, so you don’t have to worry about the wording of the prompt, but choose eg true/false statements for a text you plan to assign. Also, the key is automatically produced and the copying and pasting seems easier with Twee.

I am still not sure…

Look how the two great engines compares when I asked them to generate 10 open questions with a key for this youtube video- AI Interview CNN.

I have the feeling Twee’s content is less generic and almost human like. Let me know what you feel in the comments below:) 

TWEE:

Questions:

1. What is the name of the AI language model discussed in the video?

2. How does the Chat GPT program work?

3. What is the significance of Microsoft's investment in OpenAI?

4. Why does Professor Scott Galloway believe that the opening statement was wrong?

5. How quickly did Chat GPT gain a million users?

6. What concerns do schools have about AI writing essays for students?

7. What is the potential danger of AI creating misinformation?

8. Can AI be taught to recognize conspiracy theories and misinformation?

9. What are the current incentives for spreading misinformation on social media?

10. What does Professor Scott Galloway think is more important than the technology itself in preventing the spread of misinformation? 

Correct answers:

1. The AI language model discussed in the video is called Chat GPT.

2. The Chat GPT program can compose anything you ask, such as a sonnet, an essay, or cable news intros, by responding to prompts in a humanlike manner.

3. Microsoft's multiyear multibillion dollar investment in OpenAI's parent company is significant because it demonstrates a belief in the program's potential, which has already attracted over a billion dollars in investment.

4. Professor Scott Galloway believes that the opening statement was wrong because he is not an expert in AI and there is no evidence to suggest that he is.

5. Chat GPT gained a million users in just five days, which is much faster than other popular apps like Spotify and Instagram.

6. Schools are concerned about AI writing essays for students because it undermines the goal of teaching critical thinking skills.

7. The potential danger of AI creating misinformation is that it can spread widely and quickly, especially on social media, and can be difficult to distinguish from accurate information.

8. It may be possible to teach AI to recognize conspiracy theories and misinformation, but it ultimately depends on the incentives for doing so.

9. The current incentives for spreading misinformation on social media are based on engagement and clicks, rather than accuracy or truthfulness.

10. Professor Scott Galloway thinks that incentives are more important than the technology itself in preventing the spread of misinformation.
