Here are the latest:

Hialfred has not bad-looking AI-generated presentations on different subjects, and you can use it to create your own.

AICurated is an AI tool collection. However, there are so many of these types of sites, that I’m going to stop adding new ones to THE BEST COLLECTIONS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TOOLS.

Scripts Flick is a text-to-video AI tool.

Wonder Story lets you record your own AI-assisted story. I’m adding it to The Best Online Tools Using Artificial Intelligence For Creating Stories For Children.

TracePiz isn’t free, but it looks like a nice picture-to-coloring-page generator, which could come in handy to grandparents like me.

AI Book Translate isn’t free, but it looks like it could be useful to people like me who going to try their hand at fiction.  I’m adding it to USEFUL ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE RESOURCES FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO PLAN TO WRITE NOVELS SOMEDAY.

Resume Maker Online is yet another AI resume tool.

Voice to Slides is free, and lets you use your…voice to tell AI to create slides.

“… it also will separate you from your students”

I decided to finally ask students how they felt about all things AI in education last week, not really knowing what they were going to say.

They had a lot to say—and the message was ridiculously clear.

I hate that, as a result of AI, when I see an unexpectedly good piece of writing from a student, instead of my former immediate sense of joy and surprise, my mind, instead, goes to “Would they use ChatGPT for this?”
