Content Creation with Multiple AIs and GPTs
GPT4o, GPT4 Plus, and Claude 3 Opus + a new GPT.
Different AI models have different characteristics. They also have upsides and downsides. GPT4 Plus is the best, largely because of its all-round versatility and the consistent quality of the output. However, it often makes glaring and annoying errors. Sometimes it is repetitive and verbose. GPT4o has some great qualities. For example, its visual capabilities are very impressive. Claude 3 Opus is great as an alternative to GPT4 Plus. I think I prefer its language style to GPT4 Plus. It’s extremely useful for reviewing and double checking language and information or just for getting a comparative take on a topic. Sometimes its logical skills seem superior to GPT4 Pro. It also has a nice UI and simpler document formatting.
Lesson 1: What is the value of a university degree?
Now it seems more important than ever to have a knowledge of multiple AIs due to their different qualities, strengths and weaknesses. “What is the value of a university degree?” was created with a customized OpenAI GPT (a new GPT - “4 Activity Designer” - the prompt is at the end of the post) using GPT4o to review and double check the visual elements, and Claude Pro Opus to review and double check the text elements. Below is an example of of GPT4o’s visual skills. I wanted to review a picture/vocabulary matching exercise created with the new GPT. So I used GPT4o to do the exercise for me. It gave a perfect result.
Input (the image) and ask it to complete the exercise.
Output text
1. Picture 1: A graduate thinking about different career options
• Phrase: "increasing job opportunities"
2. Picture 2: A head with colorful patterns and books
• Phrase: "acquiring knowledge and skills"
3. Picture 3: A person with lines and patterns coming out of their head
• Phrase: "developing critical thinking abilities"
4. Picture 4: A collage of people studying and reading
• Phrase: "promoting lifelong learning"
5. Picture 5: A person thinking with a network of faces
• Phrase: "building a professional network"
6. Picture 6: A person presenting data to a group
• Phrase: "enhancing communication skills"
7. Picture 7: A nurse attending to a patient
• Phrase: "contributing to society"
8. Picture 8: A graduation cap on a roll of money
• Phrase: "earning a higher salary"
Lesson 2: Serendipity: Accidental Discoveries
This is a lesson about accidental discoveries that have become part of our daily lives. This is another example of the same process as above. The new GPT, “4 Activity Designer”, was used to create a picture/vocabulary matching exercise, a sorting exercise and a gap fill exercise. A combination of several other GPTs was used for the second page.
Both GPT4 Plus and Claude Pro struggled to create the matching exercise shown below. This is definitely a challenging task. But it does show the limits of AI abilities at present. Claude Pro, on the other hand, tends to use language that provides a refreshing alternative to GPT4's repetitiveness and verbosity. Comparing two versions of an exercise side-by-side provides an effective way to improve the style of language and weed out glaring mistakes.
Lesson 3: Project Coordination Skills
This lesson combines 3 GPTs: one for vocabulary and language exercises; one for critical thinking; and one for expressing opinions. GPT4o was used to review the visual elements and Claude Pro was used to check and review the text exercises.
Lesson 4: The Water Crisis
This lesson was also created with a combination of GPTs to explore language and ideas about the water crisis.
