ChatGPT AI - A new starting point for content creation?

Hi Cody! This is such an interesting topic! I haven't dipped my toes into AI yet, but this definitely got me thinking more about it. Thank you for your post and for all the examples. I made a note to explore this a bit more. 

Hi Cody, I love this topic. I have shared this with my team. I tried the Rise Storyboard Structure. Very impressive. 

Working on a game i tried chatGPT for Javascript code to check for a win/loss. Although i got some specifics back that didnot work ( eg. player is a reserved Storyline variable, so i got that back in my chatGPT code and thus i had to replace that ) i got it working quite easily thanks to chatGPT.

I would suggest Articulate changes the internal used variable player to storylinePlayer. As that will make future use of chatGPT and other AI-tools easier for the less Javascript experienced.

I've played a little with Chat-GPT, but most of my AI attention has gone to the AI art tools, especially Midjourney.

Three ways I've used AI art generators:

1. To fix stock photos. For this, feed the stock image into the AI tool and add text describing the changes you want to see in the new image. For example, feed it the URL to an image of someone who is NOT wearing a hardhat, and put in your text prompt "wearing a hardhat". You'll get some images based on, but not identical to, the stock image you fed it, and in the output images the person will now be wearing a hardhat.
2. To get images of equipment that are not copyrighted images from the manufacturer. For this, I've been able to just ask the AI art tool to draw me "a photorealistic hotplate-stirrer" for example. Sometimes you have to clean up the image in Photoshop to get exactly what you want, but it is still pretty quick.
3. To create place-holder images while prototyping or storyboarding a course. Here, you're creating images you plan to eventually replace. For example, maybe you need an image of one person giving on-the-job training to another person, and you plan to do a photo shoot next week to stage and acquire this image. But in the mean time, you can ask the AI to generate an image similar to what you plan to shoot, so that you can try out different framings, different aspect ratios, etc., or so that you can mock up the rest of the screen and have a decent place-holder image to show your vision to others before doing the photo shoot.

The AI art tools are every bit as amazing as the AI text tools, maybe moreso.

Thanks for this Ray. This is the first time I've heard of Midjourney so I'll be trying this out.

I was just introduced to ChatGBT and what a game changer. I found that if you tell it what you want it trys to give it to you. An example would be to edit a statement as a presenter. You will ge a presentation reply. The other are I found it very helpful is when you just don't know how to say something. Just ask.

Most definitely helpful in many ways. Our workflows are so much faster and
very accurate. I am looking forward to diving in to ChatGPT4.

Great idea. Might try that out with the next course.

Could I ask how you accessed chatGPT using JavaScript? I tried using the JavaScript suggested by chat GPT itself but this didn't work. I'm not sure if it is necessary to set up a JavaScript server, which is something I don't know how to do it :-)

Let me see if i can find the case i used for this. Actually chatGPT didnot return properly working Javascript. It couldnot figure out that the Storyline player is no real player, but the player as it is in Storyline. So you really need to know Storyline specifics to fix it... let see if i can find my calls.

So my first call in chatGPT was:
"javascript code to check for a win or loss in a connectfour game"

From that i got quite usefull code..

This was the result:

// Define the game board as a 2D array
let board = [ [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
];

// Define the function to check for a win
function checkForWin(player) {
// Check horizontal
for (let row = 0; row < 6; row++) {
for (let col = 0; col < 4; col++) {
if (board[row][col] === player &&
board[row][col+1] === player &&
board[row][col+2] === player &&
board[row][col+3] === player) {
return true;
}
}
}

// Check vertical
for (let row = 0; row < 3; row++) {
for (let col = 0; col < 7; col++) {
if (board[row][col] === player &&
board[row+1][col] === player &&
board[row+2][col] === player &&
board[row+3][col] === player) {
return true;
}
}
}

// Check diagonal
for (let row = 0; row < 3; row++) {
for (let col = 0; col < 4; col++) {
if (board[row][col] === player &&
board[row+1][col+1] === player &&
board[row+2][col+2] === player &&
board[row+3][col+3] === player) {
return true;
}
}
}

// Check other diagonal
for (let row = 3; row < 6; row++) {
for (let col = 0; col < 4; col++) {
if (board[row][col] === player &&
board[row-1][col+1] === player &&
board[row-2][col+2] === player &&
board[row-3][col+3] === player) {
return true;
}
}
}

return false;
}

// Usage:
// To check if player 1 wins, call checkForWin(1)
// To check if player 2 wins, call checkForWin(2)

This was the description added:

In this code, board is the 2D array that represents the Connect Four game board. The checkForWin function takes a player number as an argument (1 for player 1, 2 for player 2), and returns true if the player has won, or false otherwise.

The function checks for a win by iterating over the game board and looking for four consecutive pieces of the same color in a row, column, or diagonal. If it finds such a sequence, it returns true. If it iterates over the entire board and doesn't find a winning sequence, it returns false.

A few issues to get it working with my game. 'player', amount of rows/cols and the 'player' interfered with the Storyline player. But saved me quite some time this way.
