If we were to offer a live (via Teams) one day course in using AI in technical communications, what would you like it to cover?

How firms use AI as manager, coach or panopticon is going to have a big impact on what work becomes.

I am genuinely impressed
Google has quietly released “Learn about” a genius new AI tool:
You can enter any topic you want to learn and you'll be able to dive right in VERY easily.
It suggests the related aspects, simplifies, illustrates, etc. More below:
More AI chatbot experimenting yesterday. You can point it at a Github/Lab documentation repository and get it to produce decent release notes about said documentation.

I was noodling around with ChatGPT on Friday, and discovered it can generate some nice reports and summaries of issues from a Github or GitLab repository. Handy for project management and project reviews. For example: categorising what the docs team has been spending its time on.

Six months in and we’re bringing you the best Bard yet:
Bard now:
- integrates with your personal apps & services
- is the only language model to actively admit how confident it is in its response
- admits when it made a mistake
- expanded image input to 40+ languages
- is powered by the most capable model to date
BARD EXTENSIONS
We’re taking our most capable model version and allowing you to collaborate with your Google apps & services like Gmail, Docs, Drive, Maps, and more.
IMPORTANT: When you opt in to use personal information like Gmail with Bard, we never train the model on your private data or expose human reviewers to it. More in Bard’s Help Center.
CHECKING CONFIDENCE
Bard is also the first language model to actively admit how confident it is in it’s response: using the updated Google It button, you can now see confident claims in green along with a link and lower certainty and even (GASP) when it makes a mistake in orange.
These capabilities are coming worldwide in English to start. We’ll bring more languages and partners soon.
EXPANDING TO MORE LANGUAGES
On top of this, images in prompts and responses are now live in over 40 languages. We also have richer sharing to allow you to build on prompt ideas with your friends & colleagues.
We can’t wait to see what happens when you use Bard to bring your curiosity and your ideas to life.
