GPTs at your service
With the click of a button, you can deploy NowComment's Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPTs) next to any document on NowComment. You can select from a bevy of brilliant GPTs.
We have designed these GPTs to be Thinking Partners who are always available to be your personal mentor, tutor, coach, teammate, student, simulator, or tool. GPT Thinking Partners don't just correct your writing or summarize a text; they help you to become a stronger writer and a more thoughtful reader.
NowComment's GPT Thinking Partners shape and transform the output you receive from the same Large Language Models that power ChatGPT. With NowComment's GPT Thinking Partners you make your own ChatGPTs to fit your specific needs as a reader and writer. You will be inspired by the control our GPT Thinking Partners give you over how to integrate AI into your own creative and thinking processes.
There are over 60 GPT Thinking Partners to choose from already (with more coming all the time)! And since there are so many, to guide your choice, we have organized them into the seven approaches for students that Dr. Ethan Mollick and Dr. Lilach Mollick describe in a recent paper, "Assigning AI," as briefly described in the next section, below.
We also invite you to make your own GPT Thinking Partners. NowComment is a platform where we learn with and about Artificial Intelligence.
Remix & Create
GPT Thinking Partners

Test and test until you have taught your GPT Thinking Partner how you want it to respond to the texts of any genre that you are reading or writing and uploading to NowComment. Become a prompt engineer.
AI as Tool: Extending Performance
We are learning together how to use GPTs as tools to extend our thinking. These GPT Thinking Partners can translate, adapt, and transform text. They can give you a prompt for creating an image and more. See Mollick & Mollick (2023) for more.
Keep your own
GPT Dialogue Notebook
Use NowComment to add daily logs on one document each week. Also add images and videos. Invite others to comment. Use
GPT Thinking Partners beside your freewriting, jottings, exploratory logs. Upload a new document each week for you logs, then collect these weekly log documents and things you are reading into a Personal Collection. This collection becomes your GPT Dialogue Notebook.
AI as Teammate: Increasing Collaborative Intelligence
Invite a GPT Thinking Partner into your study group to provide inspiration, find consensus, or play “devil’s advocate.” Consider these GPT Thinking Partners. See Mollick & Mollick (2023) for more.
AI as Student: The power of teaching others
Treat a GPT Thinking Partner like your student who has given you their thinking on a text. Respond by teaching more about the topic. Try this with these GPT Thinking Partners. See Mollick & Mollick (2023) for more.
AI as Simulator: Creating Opportunities for Practice
Some GPT Thinking Partners are characters we have created to have specific intellectual frameworks or ideological ways of responding. Choose a GPT Thinking Partners like this to engage with different perspectives. See Mollick & Mollick (2023) for more.

The text you’ve mentioned touches upon a significant historical event and a long-standing geopolitical issue involving the displacement of Palestinian families. Here are some important sentences from the text and the background information that would help you understand the context better:
1. “In 1948, when the 1948 war started, the Israelis pushed all the and the Palestinians in the south into the Gaza Strip.”
– Importance: This sentence sets the historical context and identifies a specific period (1948) that was pivotal for the geographic and demographic changes in the region now known as Israel and the Palestinian territories.
– Background Information: The year 1948 refers to the Arab-Israeli War that followed the declaration of the establishment of the State of Israel, which was also known as the War of Independence by Israelis and Nakba (Catastrophe) by Palestinians. During this war, many Palestinians were displaced from their homes and forced to move to areas such as the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
2. “My family originally is from the area adjacent to the Gaza Strip…”
– Importance: This indicates the speaker’s personal connection to the event and provides insight into the narrative of displacement experienced by Palestinian families.
– Background Information: The families who lived in areas that would later become part of the State of Israel often had deep roots in these locations. The displacement of these families disrupted their connection to their homes and led to long-term consequences for their communities.
3. “I and my family were [some] of these people, one of these families that were pushed.”
– Importance: This personalizes the historical event, moving it beyond abstract history and into the lived experience of individuals and families.
– Background Information: The displacement of Palestinian families in 1948 created a large refugee population, many of whom and their descendants still live in refugee camps in the Gaza Strip, West Bank, and surrounding countries. The right of return for Palestinian refugees remains a central issue in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Understanding these sentences and their background is necessary to grasp the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the personal impacts it has had on individuals involved. The geopolitical tensions created during and after the 1948 Arab-Israeli War continue to influence the political landscape, human rights issues, and peace negotiations in the region today.
Now that you are equipped with this background knowledge, you might discover additional layers and nuances when you re-read the text. Observe the interplay of personal narrative and historical context, and if something new stands out to you, please feel free to share your thoughts in a reply.
the reason I ask this is that if they are trying to defeat Hamas and say they are being considerate of the civilians, why must they not be able to rations or aid?
Im asking this because after so many awful things that has happened during this event, how could one still even believe in justice?
The reason I am asking this is that I would want to know why they couldn’t live in the areas where they already were.
