When thinking about the AI-Assisted Newsletter created by ChatGPT, I can see where the formality for most professional aspects of a newsletter were added through out all of our examples for the introduction and in how to contact us. I think for the most part we all agreed that it could have been a bit more personalized and give that "warmth" effect, that really only a human whose been in the community and is aware of who they serve can add. I do think that as first year librarians, teachers or anyone who needs to communicate with their community could use this to start their communication or even get ideas with how to communicate with their communities. If we had added a bit more detail to our prompt, I am sure it would have generated a more detailed newsletter, but when I think about that I think the purpose for this resource is to just give you an idea of what you could add to your own projects, and we add the warmth, the details that we know would get a good response from our patrons, or people who we serve. Another thing I would like to add would be this information could easily be transferred to another application such as Canva to make it more personable and eye catching.
According to what we learned throughout LinkedIn, it did meet the information value, but when it comes to posting and making our online presence known I don't see it fitting within what we tried. It definitely will apply if we continue to make these type of newsletter and add our own twist to it and begin to post them on our own online platform.
Overall, I did enjoy using ChatGPT and think that it is an amazing and useful tool. If we use it correctly, and make it our own it could really benefit our online presence with our communities and add that communication avenue with them, and our staff whom we serve.

and a screenshot of my teammates Kimberly example because we wanted to use it to compare the differences with a prompt.
Your group makes an excellent point about adding warmth to newsletter because although Ai is very useful to easily helping us generate a general outline we as "humans" need to go it and tailor it to personalize and add the human speaking factor to it. I thought it was a very useful tool as well because I enjoyed how quickly it generates all the information for you. Usually when I create something it takes me a while and using something like this that can be reused will save us so much time.
ReplyDeleteYou have made some great points here! I find that sometimes I don't even use what genAI comes up with, but it gets me thinking in new ways. This is helpful, at least for me. Teachers have said using genAI in classwork helps eliminate "blank page syndrome" in that at least you can get writing. Foe newsletters for sure this is the case.
ReplyDeleteI also felt some were missing the "personal" touch we often put into a creation!
