<p><!--block-->All right, so everybody's buzzing about this chat GPT 4. 0 with canvas. Um, we've got a video showing off what it can do and. Honestly, it's pretty mind-blowing. <br><br>Yeah, it's not just like, answering questions anymore. This is next-level stuff. <br><br>It really is. And you know how we always talk about AI's potential in education?<br><br>Right. <br><br>Well, get this. You can take a super dense, Textbook, let's say physics, and boom, turn it into a children's book. <br><br>Yeah. <br><br>Like full on illustrations and everything. <br><br>Yeah, that's impressive. <br><br>It is. And they show that in the video, how to do it. They even made a Python program to analyze text, all within this ChatGPT 4.<br><br>0 with Canvas. <br><br>Okay, hold on. You keep saying ChatGPT 4. 0 with Canvas, but I'm still a little fuzzy on what Canvas actually is. <br><br>Yeah, no, that's fair. So imagine like a digital whiteboard. Okay. And it lives inside ChatGPT 4. 0. So you're not just stuck with like one answer in a chat window. Yeah. You could see your whole project.<br><br>Edit stuff right there, highlight things, ask questions. It's super interactive. <br><br>So in the video, it was mostly writing stuff like that textbook example. <br><br>Yeah, they focused a lot on writing, but they also did some cool stuff with coding. Imagine you're working on a Python program. <br><br>Okay. <br><br>Within Canvas, you can generate the code.<br><br>Ask ChatGPT to explain it, even troubleshoot errors. <br><br>Hmm, interesting. I <br><br>thought you'd like that. They even showed how to copy paste error messages straight from your terminal into ChatGPT. It can help you figure out what's wrong. <br><br>Wow, okay. That's handy. Especially when you're just starting out with coding.<br><br>Right. So, writing, coding, what else? Oh, they use The Great Gatsby as an example. Okay. You drop the whole book into Canvas, and then you can ask ChatGPT to do all sorts of analysis like sentiment, themes, even create a word cloud. Cool. To see, you know, which words are used the most. <br><br>Huh. That would be so useful for research.<br><br>Totally. And it's all in real time, so you're not waiting around for results. But, okay, let's get real for a second. Okay. If I'm listening to all this and thinking, okay, sounds cool, but what can I do with this chat GPT 4. 0 in Canvas? What would you say? <br><br>It's honestly so versatile. It really depends on what you're into.<br><br>If you're a writer, you can use it to brainstorm, polish your work, even experiment with different styles. Got it. If you're into coding, it can help you learn new languages, write cleaner code, and debug faster. <br><br>So it's not just about specific tasks, but more about how you approach learning and problem solving.<br><br>Exactly. It's about giving you the tools to be more creative, more efficient, and more confident in what you're doing. <br><br>I like that. I'm really curious to see how this Canvas thing changes the way people work with AI. <br><br>Me too. Hey, it feels like we're finally moving past those old clunky AI interfaces. <br><br>Right.<br><br>And it's not just about AI doing things for us. It's about AI working with us. <br><br>You got it. That's what makes it so exciting. <br><br>Absolutely. Oh, and one of the coolest things they showed was how you can change the reading level of A& Y text. Like, remember how they turned that physics textbook into a kid's book?<br><br>Oh yeah, with the emojis and all? <br><br>Yeah. That's huge for education, don't you think? <br><br>Definitely. Imagine customizing learning materials for different people, different learning styles. <br><br>I love that idea. Okay, so we've talked about writing, coding, even education. What else? <br><br>Um, oh, we haven't touched on the suggest edits feature.<br><br>It's like having a built in editor, which is super helpful for writers. <br><br>Right, right, like a real time writing tutor. <br><br>Exactly. It's not just about catching typos. It helps with sentence structure, word choice, all of that. <br><br>And it can do all of this in different languages too. They show the translation features, so you can get Feedback, even if you're not writing in English, that's wild.<br><br>It really opens up the possibilities for communication, you know, breaking down those language barriers. No <br><br>kidding. And it's not just like basic translation. You can get feedback on your style. Those little nuances that make a language unique. <br><br>That's pretty cool. Okay. So we've talked writing, coding, education, even translation.<br><br>Well, they showed some impressive stuff with problem solving in Canvas. <br><br>Yeah. <br><br>Especially for coding. <br><br>Right, like with those error messages and debugging. <br><br>Yeah, exactly. But it goes deeper than that. Canvas can actually help you come up with solutions, brainstorm ideas, and then put those into your code. It's like having a partner helping you think things through.<br><br>Oh, I see. That would be so helpful, especially when you're stuck on something tricky. <br><br>Absolutely, and it's all built right in. It just flows naturally with how you're working in Canvas. <br><br>So it's all about making that interaction with AI more fluid, more back and forth. Not just commands and responses, but actually working together, you know?<br><br>Yeah, exactly. It's a real dialogue, and I think that's what's so exciting about this whole Canvas thing. <br><br>It really makes you rethink what AI can be. <br><br>It's <br><br>not just about taking over tasks. But about, like, expanding what we can do. <br><br>I agree. The potential is huge. Think about research, new software, even art and entertainment.<br><br>Oh, and how fast it all is. Remember how they analyzed the great Gatsby in like seconds? <br><br>Yeah, it's crazy how quickly it can process information. Think what that means for data analysis research. It could speed up everything. <br><br>Seriously. It feels like things are about to change big time. The way we work, the way we deal with information.<br><br>Yeah. <br><br>Definitely. It has the potential to be really transformative, but You know, with any new tech, we have to think about the long term impact. <br><br>Right, right. What are some things we need to keep in mind as this technology keeps developing? <br><br>Well, for one, accessibility. We gotta make sure everyone can benefit, not just people who are tech savvy or have lots of resources.<br><br>That's a good point. It needs to empower people. Not create more divides. <br><br>Exactly. And we can't forget about the workforce. There might be disruptions, you know, jobs changing or even disappearing. <br><br>Yeah, we have to be prepared for that. Make sure people have the skills they need. <br><br>Absolutely. It's about being responsible with this technology, making sure it benefits everyone.<br><br>Couldn't agree more. Okay, so we've covered a lot. The possibilities with ChatGPT 4. 0 and Canvas, the potential impact, but let's bring it back to our listener. <br><br>Right, make it real for them. <br><br>Exactly. So, if someone's listening and thinking, okay, cool, but what does this mean for me? <br><br>Mm hmm. <br><br>What would you say?<br><br>I'd say it's a tool, a really powerful tool for learning, for creating, for solving problems. It's not just for tech people, it's for anyone who wants to explore to get better at what they do. <br><br>I like that. It's about pushing those boundaries, right? <br><br>Exactly.
