Today’s adventures in generative AI included using David Colarusso’s LIT Prompts Chrome extension connected to the OpenAI gpt-4o-mini API on Chapter 4 of Alice Ristroph’s Criminal Law: An Integrated Approach. I first requested a short 150 word summary of the chapter which is one of the default prompts in this extension. Then using info from that summary I asked questions about Winship. The answers provided by the bot are all correct, though the holding response is a bit wordy, probably because I asked for references to the text. For reference see the Wikipedia article on Winship.
I can see using a a variant of this extension, think WordPress plugin or Drupal module, with a self-hosted model or a “bring your own” API key scheme as a tool used to supplement CALI’s educational resources to help students customize their learning.
