Objectives:  

1. Students will have a basic understanding of what GPT is and how it works.

2. Students will see how AI will affect art and the classroom environment.

3. Students will gain an understanding of the different ways AI can be used.

 

Lesson:               

1. Grounding information (Introduction/Hook) - 3 Minutes

   2. Ask what people know about GPT

   3. Ask if anyone has used it

   4. GPT systems are intelligent, having the power to process and interpret lots of data, and adapt as a result.
