Did you use it?
Yes. Someone I know has trialled it with a funding bid too, no news of that yet.
Amazing use of it I’d never even considered! I used it the other day to knock up a checklist for experienced paddling club members to use when introducing beginners (as they may have no coaching knowledge) and it did a cracking job - saved me loads of time.
The skill is definitely in the prompts you give it and how specific you are.

Might use it for my citations / pen pictures

We’re forever being told that “the quality of MBE applications is poor”… worth exploring!

How many ways can ChatGPT use the word pause without saying pause?
That’s certainly a new take on RISE.

What’s RISE? 
However thinking about it above - all are briefing or instruction techniques for that more strategic level
I’ve not used AI in any parade night yet so I’m thinking of revisiting it having read all the above.
Certainly something maybe for a cadet SNcOs to understand 
I’ve tested it out, and I’m going to get one of our CIs to do an interest lesson on it.
It’s quite good for low-level planning I think, but it can’t do nuance. Plus understandably a lot of the references are US-centric.
Good one to try out, for anyone who’s interested: ‘what is the role of a JNCO?’ (then check NCO applicants’ answers against what ChatGPT says!)
Some online plagiarism checkers now include a score for AI generated content.
Worth noting though that even many universities acknowledge those checkers aren’t reliable whatsoever and can’t be used as sole evidence of academic misconduct. For an example: Artificial intelligence – an update on the university’s approach – Campus News
Given there are now tens of thousands of generative AI models, it’s almost impossible to create any form of checker that will reliably identify the presence of any of them.
I did hear that one of the quick ways is that you insert the phrase “as envisaged by Batman” or some other unrelated person but put it in size 4, colour white font.
It gets picked up by the copy & paste & turns out something that initial reads right but turns into gobbletegook further on.
They are also being used by businesses to check if agencies are using Gen AI content. But they fail as the Gen AI systems are using the same content sources to train on.

Yeah, we’ve been getting mixed result running my daughter’s coursework through plagiarism checkers. Some of them mistake direct quotes for plagiarism, but are fine if you paraphrase exactly the same point without giving any credit to the originator. Others claim stuff that has merely been cleaned up by the likes of Grammarly as AI generated.
Some might very well argue grammarly is a form of artificial intelligence. Not necessarily the same type of generative AI, but AI nonetheless. This is the problem right, where do we collectively draw the line? Academia just isn’t ready for this.

At work people have tested set to create a risk assessment.
Although the specifics are sometimes different in terms of the templates people have required to complete, it definitely provides a shortcut in terms of aspects to consider on your risk assessment
We’ve been teaching the Cadets how to use it because they wanted to do a newsletter but the biggest challenges we had with the previous Sqn newsletter was that they didn’t have enough time to do it on parade evenings.
So we’ve been teaching them how they can write the key points of a story, using AI to get the structure / length and then adjusting it to their style of writing.
Technically it probably doesn’t save any time in the long road, but starting for a structure is much easier than starting from a blank page.

So I just did this:-
Air cadet central is a web forum for members of the RAF air cadets to discuss ideas and opportunities on ways to improve and deliver the experience to the air cadets.
