#ChatGPT.
Everyone’s talking about it. The internet is full of examples of AI shaking up how we ask questions.
It's a powerful technology but to get the most out of it there are some things you need to consider.
This is going to be a long one, so buckle in.

Surprised to meet @Digital_MW in the caravan aisles of @GOoutdoors yesterday afternoon. I’d never have taken him for a fellow caravanner - it takes all sorts!

The greatest invention for my family was “text” as it meant my deaf parents (god rest them) could message their kids. Gotta love technology 🥰

Just spoke to my 75 year old mum. She’s bought a Google smart speaker for my 98 year old gran, as it’s easier to use than a CD player and can be used for voice calling.

Our final morning presentation comes from @DeafAction with their solution to Challenge 7.5
They've created a platform to make it more straightforward and inclusive to book a BSL interpreter.
