How I Write 1st Class Essays Using ChatGPT (The Best Essay Technique)

The Future of Learning with Chat GPT

This section discusses the impact of AI on education and introduces the use of chat GPT for academic essay writing.

Writing an Academic Essay with AI Tools

• The New York City Department of Education has banned access to an AI chat bot called chat GPT, which generates writing.

• This video aims to demonstrate how to write an academic essay using freely available AI tools like chat GPT.

• The video is divided into five sections: essay writing introductions, main body, conclusion, grammar checking, and plagiarism.

• The effectiveness of using AI in saving time and avoiding plagiarism will be explored.

Writing a Strong Introduction

• The introduction serves as a gateway argument and should hook the reader while setting the scene for the main body and conclusion.

• Start by identifying keywords from the essay title that need to be addressed in the introduction.

• Use chat GPT to generate a short three-sentence introduction by providing specific prompts or instructions.

• Example prompt: "Write a short three-sentence introduction for an essay entitled 'Discuss the role and risks of AI in academic essay writing.'"

• Adding a persona and specifying tone can help create a more tailored response.

Structuring the Main Body

• Many people struggle with organizing the main body of their essays or articles.

• Break up the main body into headings that reflect back to the essay title and include key points and keywords from instructions provided by your academic institution.

• Use chat GPT to brainstorm ideas for headings by asking it to generate four headings that are short, focused, and relevant to your essay title.

Subheadings and Talking Points

• Once you have your main chapter headings, further break them down into subheadings and key talking points.

• Utilize chat GPT again to generate subheadings for each chapter topic.

• If your academic institution provides additional information or requirements, incorporate them into the structure of your essay.

Conclusion and Final Steps

• The conclusion should summarize the main points discussed in the essay.

• Use chat GPT to generate a concise summary or closing statement for your conclusion.

• After completing the essay, utilize grammar checking tools and plagiarism detectors to ensure the quality and originality of your work.

How to Structure the Main Body

This section focuses on structuring the main body of an academic essay using headings, subheadings, and talking points.

Breaking Down the Main Body

• The main body should be divided into sections that reflect back to the essay title and instructions provided by your academic institution.

• Break up the main body into two to four headings, with each heading having its own subheading and talking points.

• Utilize chat GPT to brainstorm ideas for headings by asking it to generate short and focused headings that align with your essay title.

Incorporating Key Points and Keywords

• Each heading in the main body should address key points and keywords from both the essay title and any instructions given by your academic institution.

• Use chat GPT to generate subheadings for each chapter topic within the main body.

• Ensure that each subheading is relevant to its corresponding chapter topic.

Mapping Out Chapter Markers

• If your academic institution provides specific requirements or points that need to be covered in certain chapters, use this information as additional guidance for structuring your main body.

• For example, if you are required to provide arguments for and against a certain topic within your essay, these arguments can become separate headings within the main body.

Conclusion and Final Steps

This section discusses writing a strong conclusion for an academic essay and the final steps to ensure the quality of your work.

Summarizing the Main Points

• The conclusion should summarize the main points discussed in the essay.

• Use chat GPT to generate a concise summary or closing statement for your conclusion.

• Ensure that the conclusion effectively wraps up the arguments presented in the main body.

Grammar Checking and Plagiarism

• After completing your essay, it is crucial to check for grammar errors and plagiarism.

• Utilize grammar checking tools to identify and correct any grammatical mistakes.

• Use plagiarism detectors to ensure that your work is original and properly cited.

Essay Writing with AI

In this section, the speaker discusses the role of AI in essay writing and highlights potential risks associated with using AI-generated content.

The Role of AI in Essay Writing

• Using AI can help break down an essay into smaller sections, making it more manageable and focused.

• Assigning word counts to specific sections allows for better time management.

Risks of Using AI in Essay Writing

Accuracy of AI-Produced Content

• AI-generated content may lack accuracy and originality.

• Chat GPT is a language model, not a research tool, so it cannot gather information from sources or attribute key information properly.

Plagiarism Concerns

• Relying solely on chat GPT for essay content can lead to plagiarism issues.

• Expressing personal opinions through chat GPT may not accurately reflect one's own views.

Limitations in Quality and References

• Chat GPT's generated content may lack quality, references, and specificity.

• It is important to back up points with research-backed evidence and provide personal opinions based on that evidence.

Conclusion of the Essay

• Summarize key points made in the main body of the essay during the conclusion section.

• Consider including a call to action or specific findings from the essay.

Reviewing and Improving the Essay

• After writing the essay, it is essential to review for grammar, punctuation, spelling errors using tools like Grammarly or Quill Bot.

• Readability is crucial; tools like Quill Bot can help rephrase and improve the language to make it more understandable to a wider audience.

The Future of AI Tools in Education

In this section, the speaker discusses the adoption of chat GPT and AI tools in education. While some professors encourage students to familiarize themselves with these tools for future work, other organizations express concerns about their use.

Adoption and Concerns

• Some professors at large institutions suggest that students should try out all AI tools to become familiar with them as they will be used more frequently in the future of work.

• However, many organizations are apprehensive about the use of AI tools, leading to an increase in plagiarism detection software being implemented.

• OpenAI, the company behind chat GPT, has also released its own AI detection tools online for users to test. Their AI tax classifier can determine the likelihood that a given text is generated by an AI or not.

• Other companies have emerged due to chat GPT's popularity, such as GPT 0, which focuses on analyzing text and detecting plagiarism against common AI language models.

• Academic institutions commonly utilize popular plagiarism detection software like Turnitin. These software companies have developed their own AI detectors that can identify whether an essay has been entirely generated by an AI or not.

• While there may be ways to bypass some plagiarism tools by using additional paraphrasing tools or altering word layout, it is generally not worth the effort. Once you understand what needs to be done and how many words are required for your essay, writing becomes relatively straightforward.

Writing Essays and Assessing Competence

This section explores the speaker's opinion on writing essays as a means of learning and assessing competence. The speaker emphasizes the importance of originality and personal experiences when creating valuable content.

Writing Essays as a Learning Tool

• The speaker believes that writing essays and dissertations may not be the most effective way to help people learn or assess their competence in a subject.

• However, the speaker acknowledges that they personally found value in writing essays due to having a system and format for approaching them.

• Breaking down an essay and understanding what needs to be done makes the actual writing process less challenging, especially when expressing personal opinions.

• This concept applies not only to academic essays but also to blog articles or any content posted online. If the content is not original or based on personal experiences, it will lack value for the reader.

• When considering using generative AI tools like chat GPT to create new content, it is crucial to consider whether the resulting content will be original and valuable.

Conclusion and Further Resources

The speaker concludes by summarizing the main points discussed and mentions additional resources available on generative AI use cases.
