 So next, we have a very hot topic, question is AI ready to be used by our organization? Or is it still experimental? Joshua Peske of Roundtable Technology, our TV partner, will review the current state of AI and demonstrate how it might be used to reduce your busy work. And my name is Joshua Peske. I am with Roundtable Technology and we do our best to help nonprofit organizations use technology to further their missions. And my colleague Justin will be dropping links in the chat over the session. So keep a lookout for those. And I prepared a video for this. So I'll ask Andrew to go ahead and play the video. Hey, my name is Joshua Peske with Roundtable Technology. Today, I'm going to show something referred to as generative AI. Specifically, I'm going to use a language model referred to as GPT-3 to write a blog post for a nonprofit. I'm going to use the tool jasper.ai to do this. So let's dive in. I would like to write an article about the event we're doing today, the future of work with TechSoup. So to start, I've highlighted this text about the event. I'm going to copy that and then I'm going to go over to my generative writing tool jasper.ai and I'm going to choose the blog post workflow. Now here I'm going to paste in that text that I copied out and go ahead and choose continue. All right, that describes the content that I want to create. So it's the prompt that I'm using to start Jasper writing. Now I'm going to go ahead and use jasper to generate some title ideas. And I can see that three ideas have been created here, navigating the nonprofit workplace of the future, future of nonprofit workplaces and navigating to shift the future. So I'm going to go ahead and navigating the nonprofit workplace of the future. I'll use that title. I think I like that one. Now I'm going to go ahead and have jasper generate an introduction paragraph for me. So I'm going to click generate again. And again, in just a few seconds, jasper creates a few options for my intro paragraph. So I'm going to go ahead and use this tap one which I think looks pretty decent and now I'm going to open the editor. So we are now in the Jasper document editor. The first thing I'm going to do is set a tone of voice for writing. Now you can train these models in some cases to mimic a tone of voice from your own organization. We could talk about another time. For now I'm just going to go ahead and write witty. We have a witty. Now I'm going to go ahead and create a new line and I'm going to ask Jasper to write an outline for this blog post. I'm just going to hit command enter and Jasper is going to go ahead and write an outline for me. Now I go ahead and choose output length long just so we could get a full blog post very quickly here for purposes of this demonstration. So I'm going to hit compose and first it's going to be talking about virtual meeting platforms and then it's going to jump into work flexibility. Everything looks good so far. I'm going to go ahead and tell them to compose and it's going to continue along and now it gets to the paragraph on equity. So let's go ahead and read what it has to say there equity as the workplace evolves. It is important to consider equity and how we work. It's about ensuring that everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed. This includes things like providing access to resources being the influence of different voices and perspectives and creating opportunities for everyone to contribute. It's a bit general, but not bad. It's pretty decent writing. So I'm going to go ahead and just keep clicking continue until Jasper has finished all of the bullet points that it brought up. Go ahead and just to show everybody I will say write a conclusion and Jasper is going to go ahead and write a conclusion for me. Now I've got all the texts that I want. I'm just going to go ahead and highlight all of that and jump into my Google Doc. So here I am in Google Docs. Now I have cheated a little bit. I used the magic of editing, skip over the pattern format it a little bit, title and topic headers but you can see now that we've got a lovely little start of the blog post. I'm including here in the video that if you want to go take a look at this document and read it over on your own time but you can see that using these AI generative tools you can create content in a matter of minutes and both the combination of your own pranks to decide what content you want to create and how you want to create it and the work you do editing the content that is created after the fact can still make it highly unique to your needs and your organization but allows you to create content much more quickly. I hope you found this out. Joshua, I think you might be on mute. Yeah, it's all right. I turned my mic off because we had the echo. I hope everyone enjoyed the video of kind of talking like a chipmunk. I was trying to squeeze as much as I could there through that minute. We've been using AI generative writing tools since early this year and if you're interested to see if you can tell the difference between which of our posts were written by humans and which were written by AI you can go ahead and look through our blog and see if you can tell the difference. We're also doing a series on using AI in nonprofits. It's a six part series titled too soon where we covered lots of different AI tools. So Justin's gonna drop a link to that and then on November 18th we're doing a workshop to nonprofits think about ways they could use AI and actually take projects home. I wanted to call out one resource that I found that I think people might really be interested in which Justin will also drop in. That's called you include. And it's a, I actually learned about that through a previous TechSoup event. And that is a site that lets you post plan a job posting a job description and it will let you know how to make that posting more inclusive so that you get a broader and more diverse roster of candidates applying for that job, which is a really fantastic use of AI in writing. So that's it for my session.
