I typically encourage students to use google and wikipedia to start their research on a topic with the admonishment those two tools are not valid references in an academic paper.  

Start with google, locate a wikipedia article to get a background o the topic and gain an understanding of the jargon related to the topic. Then back to google to research further areas suggested by the wikipedia article. The references at the end of the wikipedia article and the additional research prompted by the article often provide a solid basis for starting a paper.

The students can now add ChatGPT… >>>

I have been exposed to the different categories of AI starting in the '80s modeling expert systems and weapon systems. I was vaguely aware of OpenAI but had not followed the founders/contributors backgrounds.

We have seen movies where in the cartoon Wall E, where the computers take over and don't want us to think for ourselves anymore, not workout, and get fat. In the terminator movies where they try to do something worse. Do you think that this will happen in the later years? have you seen the movie with Will Smith in I-Robot? Yes, they enhance our bodies replace our limbs where we can almost function as normal human beings. But it's the mind that plays a major role in what will come in the future.

Using current forms of media will keep students more engaged and involved with classwork. 

This is an interesting unit in learning about the availability of the technology. The resources identified will definitely help to deliver content to my students. Being of a different generation, although technology has been a huge part just not to the extent of the younger generation, I do understand the importance of utilizing these resources to help not only keep students engaged but to help them get the full benefit of the subject being taught.

I am very impressed I was unaware of all of the resources for presentations that are available for use, and I will definitely explore all of the ones mentioned. Coming from bedside care to educator I struggle with presentations that have been basically power point presentations that do not seem to connect with the student.

Open AI has already led to bias based on the founders such as GOOGLEs release that took and replaced the race of historical figures. Huge potential problem with AI 

I like how this portion mentioned the learning environment... how it plays a huge part in helping the students' relationships with their learning abilities.

Learning comes in different styles, techniques and options where the instructor and the students can experience growth. 

I learned that ChatGPT offers various benefits for educators in regards to reducing the workload of the teachers.
