Bargain Sweater – experimenting with Turboscribe and Copilot
After Matthew Wemyss said on a webinar I was watching entitled
AI Literacy – What Is It, Really? that ChatGPT was the worst LLM for young
students to be using unsupervised, I decided to see if my 9-step prompt would
work just as well on Copilot as on ChatGPT.
I used my ‘Bargain Sweater’ example on my Android phone, on my iPad and on my computer. It was so interesting that I have already made two videos of how that worked out. The one on my Android phone is already on YouTube, the iPad one just needs editing and the one on my PC, I haven’t even made yet.
There is ONE HUGE difference between how my 9-step prompt
works with ChatGPT and Copilot. With Copilot when you ask for the different
versions to be read aloud, you never know what you’ll get! Admittedly, Copilot usually reads out the written version verbatim prefaced by notes like (With
an animated and bubbly tone), but sometimes it produces a much more
colloquial version of the same text and even, on one occasion it reenacted the
dialogue between the two women. Sadly, students don’t see these alternative
versions written down and if they want to listen to them again, they may well just
get the verbatim text or another colloquial version or even a recreation of the
two women speaking!
To give you a flavour of the spoken language that Copilot
sometime produces, here are a few examples:
1.
if you don't mind me asking?
2.
Go on have a guess.
3.
they were just chatting away
4.
let me tell you the compliments were
flying.
5.

6.
they got on to the topic of how much it
cost
7.
… was like oh why don't you guess
8.

Here's the 11-minute video I made by recording the screen on my Android phone and commenting on it:
