  • In this episode of XrmToolCast, the hosts Daryl and Scott welcomed Kristine Kolodziejski, a Microsoft MVP and a Technical Architect, to talk about ChatGPT-3, Bing Chat, and other AI-powered tools. Kristine shared her experience using these tools to enhance personal productivity and save time.

    The discussion began with talking about ChatGPT-3, an advanced natural language processing model developed by OpenAI. Kristine explained how ChatGPT-3 and other AI tools could be used to save us time and spend more time gaming or chilling on the beach. She also talked about some of the challenges and limitations of using AI-powered chatbots, such as the need for typing correct spelling or providing more context to get more detailed responses.

    The conversation then moved on to Bing Chat, a chatbot building platform provided by Microsoft. Kristine discussed how using a ChatGPT would not make someone a developer overnight and the more someone knows about the topics that are asked in ChatGPT, the more helpful answers will be generated. Then, Scott asked Kristine about ethics and AI.

    Finally, the hosts and Kristine discussed other AI-powered tools that can be used for generating presentation slides, presentation videos, video creation and image editing. They talked about how these tools can be used to brainstorm, generate initial draft content, summarise content, etc.

    Overall, this episode of XrmToolCast provided valuable insights into the world of AI-powered tools, and how they can be used to generate content and save a lot of time.

    Some of the highlights:

    Games Factorio Age Of Empires ChatGPT Bing Chat Some of the highs and lows of ChatGPT Ethics and AI Tome - AI-powered tool to generate slide deck beHuman – AI yourself in presentations D-ID - AI-generated video creation platform Runway - content creation with artificial intelligence Nvidia Eye Contact AI from Broadcast 1.4
