Creating a cartoon with GenAI

Just a quick post on using ChatGPT4o to produce cartoons. The idea is inspired by a tweet by Dr Thomas Lancaster see below




Slightly modified it to get it to create the images and combine them in a GIF.


Prompt 1
The language is British English. You are an experienced comic book designer and a witty writer. Create a guide to being a Computing student in Higher Education in the UK using a comic book narrative. This should be educational and entertaining. The comic will have 8 panels and the style consistent between panels, You will generate the graphics for each panel separately; as seperate images. using speech bubbles (a maximum of 5 words). Reduce all other textual output to a minimum. 

Prompt 2
generate the images and combined the images into a file called computing_student2.gif




Have go it is fun to do.

GenAI Productivity: Ideas to project proposal 1

One of the ways I use Generative AI with students is to take basic ideas for projects, usually a title, and get these tools to greater ideas and start of a project proposal. This is with all the usual caveats  Check the references (if any); It is going to be basic, so extend it. In this example I am going to use Co-pilot but the ChatGPT, etc can be used, employing a few basic prompt engineering basics: personas (who is the target audience?) and Templates (how do I want it to look?) to start this process. Example:  Project ideas for MSc Data Intelligence students (persona)  on a particular topic. The reply will include subheadings and relevant (hopefully) content for  TITLE, INTRODUCTION, PROBLEM STATEMENT. The prompt: " Taking the topic "Leveraging open-source tools to measure and present academics publications automatically from public domain data.". Give five innovative projects for a Master's level student dissertation in Data Intelligence. Each project example wi...

Getting multiple viewpoints with ChatGPT

Well sort of! There are approaches where we can get the generative AI to look at a problem from multiple perspectives (or personas) and bring the ideas generated, ideally informed by the others. to a final plan. One of the main strategy is called Tree of Thoughts (see here for more detail  https://www.forbes.com/sites/lanceeliot/2023/09/08/prompt-engineering-embraces-tree-of-thoughts-as-latest-new-technique-to-solve-generative-ai-toughest-problems/?sh=5ce79bdb2c8b ). The central idea is get a number of expert opinions, allow potential cross-fertilization of ideas, come up with actions or plans. Let see this action.  Scenario: Find out about the UK Government's plans on Disability support and then use Tree of Thoughts to produce some ideas for a company making disability equipment based on their website. Google's Gemini will be used. Stage 1 "UK Governments plans on Disability support ": Prompt:  Read, convert to plain text and consolidate information from the followi...

AI as a Mirror: Transforming Vague Student Ideas into a More Rigorous Project Agreement

The Problem: The "Generic App" and the "Time Sink" We’ve all been there: a student walks into a 1-to-1 with a vague desire to "do something with AI" or "build a fitness app." You spend 45 minutes trying to find a technical "hook" that justifies a Level 6 or Level 7 grade, only for the student to drift back into "CRUD app" territory by week three. The Philosophy: AI as a Mirror Instead of you doing the heavy lifting, this workflow uses AI as a Mirror . It reflects the student’s own skills and career goals back to them, but with the structural rigour of a virtual supervisory team. It’s not about the AI "giving" the idea; it’s about the AI forcing the student to defend and refine their own concepts until they hold water. The Framework: 3 Months of Rigour This prompt is specifically designed for intensive/conversion MSc or summer capstone projects . It assumes a tight 12-week implementation window. By forcing the AI to w...
