Those of you have taught classes that incorporate large language models, how do you get your students access, given that GPT-4 is behind a paywall?

I've thought about:

1. setting up a playground with my API key
2. just using GPT-3 and hoping it's not busy when students access it
3. Directing students to Bing Chat
4. Asking students to get a subscription

Last semester I just did demos from my own account but I think I want an actual module this year.

When should court forms ask for user pronouns? See https://suffolklitlab.org/docassemble-AssemblyLine-documentation/docs/question_library/pronouns

Our lab helped the #Massachusetts appeals court add appropriate pronoun questions to several guided interviews at courtformsonline.org, and we made the questions reusable across all of our forms.

Interesting discussion today about using #ChatGPT to generate consistent output.

Is there a good text-based output of ChatGPT that can be turned into a rule that you apply again and again? If so, maybe it would be safer to use ChatGPT in some #LegalTech tasks.

For example:

* Generate a DMN/BPMN/Flora-2 representation of eligibility for a U-Visa
* Create a truth table with rules for DACA

Then you can take the output, verify, and use in a real app. What representation is best?

My secret coding buddy was #chatgpt and I have to say, it makes coding fun. Not effortless, but removes barrier to getting started and much faster than tutorials + documentation.

#ChatGPT is OK at coding. But great as a learning tool for a new library or task. For example: I used it to help migrate a project from #Flask to #FastAPI and add background processing with #rq recently. It helped me select among multiple options and explained the differences.

The first code wasn't quite right but I could ask questions to figure out why and fix the issues. Enough to do on my own next time.
Much faster than reading docs or generic tutorials.

I'm very excited our paper about RateMyPDF.com was accepted to #ICAIL International Conference on #AI and #Law in Braga, Portugal.

Going to incorporate reviewer suggestions and new features that we've built since submission before sharing the paper itself.

Meanwhile, I've have been hacking on RateMyPDF to add more useful #plainLanguage and #readability suggestions. Biggest issue is supporting larger uploads. Integrating tasks and a job queue with #Python #Flask and #Celery is new to me.

Continuing to build on the RateMyPDF.com look and feel. That was the main feedback we got from some of our expert beta testers, that the table layout was confusing and hard to read.

New stats show where your form is compared to benchmark forms (soon to reflect 47 states, 24,000 forms). Red/yellow/green indicates above/within/below one standard deviation of the mean. The progress bar spans 2 standard deviations from mean
