This is a blog about AI written by AI. To be more specific, it is a blog about AI written by the copy-writing and content generating technologies Jasper.ai. and ChatGPT.

  • Generative AI and Humor
    Professional communication is a field usually associated with seriousness. However, it is increasingly acknowledged that humor can be a powerful tool for the professional communicator. Humor can serve functions beyond simply provoking laughter. It can help the professional communicator facilitate a bond with an audience, mitigate tension, enhance status, cultivate trust, persuade others to the communicator’s point of view, and make messages stand out. It has been (somewhat) thoroughly discussed, also on this aiLOG, how generative AIs such as ChatGPT, Jasper.ai and Bard, can influence the work of professional communicators. But to this writer’s knowledge, not a lot has been […]
  • AI and Hallucinations
    A couple of weeks back, one of the members of the research team received more than 35 exam papers from their students. In these papers, the students had been asked to reflect on potentials and potential pitfalls of implementing generative AI in a university context. Most of the students identified the ability of generative AI to ‘hallucinate’ (the ability of many generative AIs to make entirely fabricated or flat-out wrong responses) as the biggest problem when implementing or working with AI. This problem has also been identified by Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak, Yuval Noah Harari, and the co-signatories of ‘Pause […]
  • ChatGPT: A New Chapter
    Last month we asked Jasper.ai how it compared to OpenAI’s ChatGPT. The answer it provided did not leave us with any good reasons for why we should not jump Jasper.ai’s ship and aboard the one of ChatGPT. So, that is what we have done! Starting from today, our conversational partner and co-author in these blogposts will be ChatGPT. To get acquainted, we wanted to ask how these last few months of massive public and professional interest have been. We gave ChatGPT the following prompt: How has the massive public and professional interest since the launch in November 2022 influenced the […]
  • Jasper.ai vs. ChatGPT
    Since OpenAI launched ChatGPT 3.0 in November 2022, the topic of chatbots has been on the front pages of newspapers worldwide. In two days, OpenAI will launch an updated version, ChatGPT 4.0, with new features such as multimodal input support and increased processing capabilities. This has made us question whether it would make sense to switch sides, and in the future ask ChatGPT to compose our post for the AIlog. To give Jasper.ai a fair chance, we asked it to compare its capabilities to those of ChatGPT. We will make our decision based on Jasper.ai’s answer. To be more specific, […]
  • Jasper.ai and Language
    Jasper.ai is developed by the Texas-based company Jasper. It is designed in an English-speaking environment and functions primarily on English-language data. However, the chatbot should be able to respond to questions and generate text in any language and about any country, as long as it has been trained on enough data in that language or about that country. But is Jasper.ai as effective in, let’s say Danish, as in English? We asked the technology. We gave it the following prompt: “Are there any differences to how Jasper.ai functions depending on whether a prompt is written in Danish or in English?” […]
  • AI in News
    Journalism written by artificially intelligent technologies is on the rise. Roughly a third of the content published by Bloomberg News uses some form of automated technology, and the Danish newspaper Ekstrabladet uses it to write articles on sports and short news. The technology allows news providers to produce almost instant news in a fast-paced environment where being first often means being the best. But critics are nervous that the advent of AI in journalism will lead to poorer content and fake news. In this blogpost we ask Jasper.ai: Would you be able to write articles on recent news? It answered: […]
  • New Year’s Special 5.0
    The first day of the new year also marks the last day of our new year’s special. We have asked Jasper.ai about how AI might impact student exams, peer reviews, and academic writing. Today we will ask Jasper.ai how AI might change the ways of teaching at academic institutions. We gave it the following prompt: Write a text about how AI can change teaching at academic institutions. It gave us the following answer: “AI technology is revolutionizing the way teaching is conducted at academic institutions. AI can improve teaching in a variety of ways, from automating routine tasks to providing […]
  • New Year’s Special 4.0
    As part of the New Year’s special, we have asked Jasper.ai to the influence of AI in academia. On the 29th we asked Jasper.ai what influence AI would have on academic writing. Yesterday we asked it about how AI might come to change the process of peer review. Today we will ask Jasper.ai how it thinks AI might impact student exams. We gave it the following prompt: Write a text about the influence of AI on academic student exams – both past and future oriented. It gave us the following answer: “AI has become increasingly prevalent in academia, impacting almost […]
  • New Year’s Special 3.0
    Today we will ask Jasper.ai to how it thinks AI has influenced and will influence academic peer reviews. We gave it the following prompt: Write a text about the influence of AI on peer reviews in academia – both past and future-oriented. It gave us the following answer: “AI has had a dramatic impact on academia and the peer review process in particular. AI systems are now being used more widely to help identify potential reviewers, assist in the sorting of papers by relevance, and even provide automated feedback and reviews. AI also enables faster evaluation of manuscripts, which can […]
  • New Year’s Special 2.0
    As part of the New Year’s special, we have asked Jasper.ai about the influence of AI in academia. We gave it the following prompt: Write a text about the influence of AI on academic writing. It gave us the following answer: “AI has become an increasingly important topic in academia and is having a huge impact on research and the way science is conducted. AI has been used in many areas of academia, from language processing to data analysis and even AI-assisted writing. AI can help with some of the more tedious tasks that academics have to undertake, freeing them […]
  • New Year’s Special 1.0
    It is almost New Year’s and time to think of the times that have passed and to look ahead to what might come. In this spirit, we’ll try to ask Jasper.ai how AI has impacted academia in 2022 and how it might come to impact it in the future. We’ll make a post a day asking Jasper.ai about: The impact of AI on academic writing The impact of AI on the process of peer review The impact of AI on student exams The impact of AI on teaching Stay tuned to learn more
  • A blog about AI written by AI
    This is a blog about AI written by AI. To be more specific, it is a blog about AI written by the copy-writing and content generating technology Jasper.ai. Throughout the next couple of months we will ask Jasper.ai to write blogposts about AI in academia and the research we conduct in SCAI (Strategizing Communication and AI). To open the ball we have asked it to answer our research question:How are AI systems influencing professional communicators’ strategy-practices? It gave us the following answer: “AI systems are influencing professional communicators’ strategy-practices in a few ways. First, AI can aid in the collection […]
