Been a fab #LTHEchat
@AdvanceHE_chat, thanks everyone, but I hope at some point we can talk about really important things like car parking.
A6: It's not the sage on the stage, it's not the guide on the side, it's not the peer in the ear (podcasting last week!), instead it's .... #LTHEchat
@AdvanceHE_chat
A5: No professionally related, but I've just asked chatGPT for 'an itinerary for a 2 week holiday in cornwall' and as someone born and bred there, it's as good as I could do. #LTHEchat
@AdvanceHE_chat
A tangent of a question, but has anyone here used AI/LLMs for actually achieving a useful task. i.e not a demo or a play with it, but knowingly doing so to achieve an objective? If so, how did it work out? #LTHEchat
@AdvanceHE_chat
There's an underlying assumption in #LTHEchat
@AdvanceHE_chat tonight that AI is free and equally open to everybody. It isn't and certainly won't be in the future.
The 'calculator approach' is a helpful guide here. You learn to do arithmetic the hard and painful way to understand the principles. And then you never every do that again in your life #LTHEchat
@AdvanceHE_chat
A2: Coming soon to every university near you, I suspect. Lots of talk of working groups, I wonder who the members are. We are trying to bring in a very broad base of expertise #LTHEchat
@AdvanceHE_chat
I had no idea tonight's #LTHEchat
@AdvanceHE_chat
would talk mostly about car parking. A true sign of an academic obsession.
A1: Like most new developments, excited about the potential of the good it can do, but also realistically fearful of the harm #LTHEchat
@AdvanceHE_chat
Evening everyone. Three words for AI in education: the new normal #LTHEchat

RIP Kit Hesketh-Harvey. Have seen you perform live many times in cabaret and panto, most recently in Dec. Your closing line of poetry in Jack&Beanstalk about your audience member chat, “She puts the Milf in Milford” had the rest of the cast reeling with laughter and shock.
A4: Maybe a sense of over-ambition can be unhelpful. It's hard to change big organisations for staff, and perhaps harder for students who don't (need to) know the structures. So maybe a tight focus / simple aims works best? #LTHEChat #AdvanceHE_chat
Bit later to the 'puter, but lovely to see everyone at #LTHEChat #AdvanceHE_chat tonight
Thanks to @shaps_b and @mart_compton for some great questions on #LTHEchat tonight and for the organising team.
