Also, they’ve upgraded the language model ChatGPT is based on to GPT-4 and it’s CRAZY. What can it do? Tune in to find out. In other news, Canva released Canva Docs recently. How does it measure up to Google Docs and Microsoft Word? They also released a new plan for colleges and universities.

In this episode, I try out 5 different AI-generated text detection tools. Tune in to see if they can tell us if our students are cheating. Also, on the topic of artificial intelligence - Open AI has announced that there are now free and paid plans for ChatGPT. I’ll break down the differences today.  In non-AI news, Google Slides has an awesome new “follow” feature that’ll kick your collaboration up a notch and Flip has implemented a bunch of the updates that they announced back in the summer.
