Have overlooked at this option in GPT little did i know it is this helpful, thank you very much for sharing it is time saving. The caution will only be using it without feeding it sensitive data otherwise AI is a game changer.

Please, please, please, people, let's have a critical attitude to AI tools.

Do not feed them anything that contains sensitive/personal information. Which most lesson obs will contain unless you write them with them being input into an LLM. 

In fact, the moment they contain someone's name, they fall within the scope of the Data Protection Act, and giving them to your (inevitably US-hosted) model is technically exfiltrating personal data outside of the storage and processing jurisdiction.

As to accuracy, hopefully at the mo it's  "trust, but verify", but what happens when the time-saving lures us into a false sense of safety and the verify doesn't happen?

Well, we can look at medicine: https://apnews.com/article/ai-artificial-intelligence-health-business-90020cdf5fa16c79ca2e5b6c4c9bbb14

And what will happen when the now near-trillion USD of venture capital invested in AI start demanding revenue back? Price jacking - by which point we'll be so dependent on those tools we'll have no choice but be gouged - and monetising all the information fed into the tools - not just private info, but also using this data to build training sets of human-produced text, which by then will have become even more of a scarce commodity.

Thanks Alex, this is such a time saver - and when i uploaded an image of my notes it didn't just transcribe the text, it put it into full sentences and even managed to interpret my random abbreviations!
