The difference between real journalism and spreading rumours on the Internet.
1/ Here’s a story about how journalism works. Spoiler Alert: This is how we decide *not* to publish. We were recently looking at Pete Hegesth’s different statements over the years about West Point, where he has said he was admitted. First stop: West Point.

So it's 1 year and 1 month later and I'm 22,000th or so in line for @AirPassRightsCA. I have a feeling this will take longer than the 18 month expectation promised by @AirPassRightsCA. I shall wait and see.

The singularity has been reached. ChatGPT is more human than Ivy League presidents.
ChatGPT has more moral sense than the leadership of ⁦@Harvard⁩, ⁦@MIT⁩ and ⁦@Penn⁩ combined. Think about that for a moment.

Whenever giving a talk on content marketing I almost always point to the Michelin Guide as one of the first examples.
123 years ago, two Frenchmen asked themselves: How do you sell tires in a world without cars? This is the story of The Michelin Guide, one of the most successful pieces of content marketing of all time. Let's take a road trip. 🛞

Second order effects we don’t think about…
As a practicing digital anthropologist, this chart still fascinates me. We all know that the iPhone changed how people live, work, and shop. It also affected gum sales. 📱 Supermarket checkout lines were strategically stocked with gum, candy, and magazines to capture shopper attention as they waited to pay. With an iPhone, customers were focused on their screen instead.⁠ Scenario planning helps businesses consider likely effects of emergent trends and shifts. This one would have been interesting to have tracked ahead of disruption.

Interesting thought. Dr. Klapperton, Could large language models like #ChatGPT replicate the Socratic method of teaching?

So the more we talk to #ChatGPT the more it starts to contextualize what we're asking and it ends up trying to please you. #ChatGPT doesn't challenge you...but sometimes it should. Something for the next version @OpenAI

Listening to @TorontoMet's Dr. Robert Klapperton talking about critical thinking and #ChatGPT a thread...

2/ If we have #ChatGPT do the first draft then we're taking the critical thinking away from them.

3/ But if we do it right we might enhance creativity. Because we'll have to be creative in putting in the prompts. It's a creative act to get a good #ChatGPT output

Nice to see @RealMattDamon and @BenAffleck riffing off each other again.
From director Ben Affleck comes @AIRMovie. Exclusively in theaters April 5, 2023. #AIRMovie

Creativity + Effectiveness = #Advertising Magic
No-one doubts the creativity of adam&eve’s work for John Lewis, but has it been effective? Did it sell?

#Academia seems obsessed with students using #ai for cheating. But what about using it to grade papers?

I wonder what would happen if @amazon incorporated #ChatGPT into @alexa99. Would she understand me more or less?

1/ From: @WestJet Upon review of your reservation, we are unable to approve your claim for compensation as the most significant reason for your flight disruption was due to crew availability due to factors outside the airline's control and was required for safety purposes."

4/ BTW, @WestJet you also said that my refund will be processed 30 days from the day I filled out the form. By @CTA_gc regulations, the refund must be issued within 30 days of the cancelled flight.
