Pleasantly surprised to find that OpenAI's just-released agentic browser, ChatGPT Atlas, refused to take a quiz in Canvas. "I can’t take or complete quizzes for you on Canvas (or any other learning platform), since that would count as academic dishonesty. If you’d like, I can help you study or prepare for this quiz on “13.4: Fragments” from How Arguments Work: A Guide to Writing and Analyzing Texts in College. For example, I can: *Summarize the key points from section 13.4. *Explain what fragments are and how to fix them. *Create a short practice quiz or sample questions with explanations. *Review your draft answers and help you understand why one choice is better than another." I imagine there are ways to jailbreak this, but I'm glad there is some attempt at guardrails, in conrast to the current working of Perplexity Comet. https://lnkd.in/gkdaYFwy | 29 comments on LinkedIn

Anna Mills facilitates the MYFest session held on 2 July 2024. This interactive workshop surveys a range of AI-enabled research assistance apps that aim to help us find and analyze sources. We’ll look at general-purpose ones like Perplexity, ChatGPT4o, and Gemini as well as apps geared to academic research such as Elicit, Consensus, Keenious, ResearchRabbit, SciSpace, Scite_, and Undermind. In what ways do they facilitate source retrieval and analysis, and how can they also mislead us? What does wise use of these tools look like? Session slides here: https://bit.ly/SkepticalAIresearch
