Some ideas for using artificial intellligence programs for language learning

Try ChatGPT or other artificial intelligence tools to help with language learning: 

Currently, ChatGPT is free to use if demand is low, with standard response speed, using regular model updates.  Go to https://chat.openai.com/  Look for the “Try me” button.  Sign up with an email address.  Once you are in ChatGPT, you can put in a prompt, review the output, and then ask for changes in “conversation” with the AI.  Another option:  If Chrome is your browser and you have a Google account:  Try the ChatGPT Chrome extension and log in with a Google account.  Consider reading ChatGPT's FAQ  - especially concerning personal privacy.
